Quantifying thermal water dissociation in the dayside photosphere of WASP-121 b using NIRPS

Luc Bazinet, Romain Allart, Björn Benneke +119

The intense stellar irradiation of ultra-hot Jupiters results in some of the most extreme atmospheric environments in the planetary regime. On their daysides, temperatures can be s…

Diving into the planetary system of Proxima with NIRPS -- Breaking the metre per second barrier in the infrared

Alejandro Suárez Mascareño, Étienne Artigau, Lucile Mignon +138

We obtained 420 high-resolution spectra of Proxima, over 159 nights, using the Near Infra Red Planet Searcher (NIRPS). We derived 149 nightly binned radial velocity measurements wi…

Blind search for activity-sensitive lines in the near-infrared using HARPS and NIRPS observations of Proxima and Gl 581

João Gomes da Silva, Elisa Delgado-Mena, Nuno C. Santos +145

Stellar activity variability is one of the main obstacles to the detection of Earth-like planets using the RV method. The aim of this work is to measure the effect of activity in t…

Out of the Darkness: High-resolution Detection of CO Absorption on the Nightside of WASP-33b

Georgia Mraz, Antoine Darveau-Bernier, Anne Boucher +3

We observed the ultra hot Jupiter WASP-33b with the Spectro-Polarimètre Infra-Rouge on the Canada Fance Hawaii Telescope. Previous observations of the dayside of WASP-33b show evid…

Homogeneous search for helium in the atmosphere of 11 gas giant exoplanets with SPIRou

R. Allart, P. -B. Lemée-Joliecoeur, A. Y. Jaziri +31

The metastable helium triplet in the near-infrared (10833Å) is among the most important probes of exoplanet atmospheres. It can trace their extended outer layers and constrain mass…

CO or no CO? Narrowing the CO abundance constraint and recovering the H2O detection in the atmosphere of WASP-127 b using SPIRou

Anne Boucher, David Lafrenière, Stefan Pelletier +24

Precise measurements of chemical abundances in planetary atmospheres are necessary to constrain the formation histories of exoplanets. A recent study of WASP-127b, a close-in puffy…

DREAM I. Orbital architecture orrery

V. Bourrier, O. Attia, M. Mallonn +28

The distribution of close-in exoplanets is shaped by a complex interplay between atmospheric and dynamical processes. The Desert-Rim Exoplanets Atmosphere and Migration (DREAM) pro…

On the Effect of Stellar Activity on Low-resolution Transit Spectroscopy and the Use of High Resolution as Mitigation

Frédéric Genest, David Lafrenière, Anne Boucher +4

We present models designed to quantify the effects of stellar activity on exoplanet transit spectroscopy and atmospheric characterization at low (R = 100) and high (R = 100,000) sp…

Where is the Water? Jupiter-like C/H ratio but strong HO depletion found on Boötis b using SPIRou

Stefan Pelletier, Björn Benneke, Antoine Darveau-Bernier +18

The present-day envelope of gaseous planets is a relic of how these giant planets originated and evolved. Measuring their elemental composition therefore presents a powerful opport…
