Parametrizing the projected wind fields of ultra-hot Jupiters in thermal emission: an application to GCM spectra of WASP-76b

Joost P. Wardenier, Romain Allart, Georgia Mraz +5

High-resolution thermal emission spectroscopy provides a powerful probe of atmospheric circulation in ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs), with Doppler shifts encoding information about the…

The breaking of cold traps and onset of titanium in ultra-hot Jupiter atmospheres: WASP-189b in context

Stefan Pelletier, Romain Allart, Valentina Vaulato +56

Condensates are ubiquitous to all Solar System planets with significant (10mbar) atmospheres. The same is true for most exoplanets with characterised atmospheres, with even ultr…

Super-Earth masses and stellar abundances from NIRPS reveal tentative evidence for water-rich formation around M dwarfs

Drew Weisserman, Nicole Gromek, Ryan Cloutier +98

Tracing the compositional link between terrestrial super-Earths and their host stars provides clues to their dominant formation pathway. By constraining the stellar abundances of r…

NIRPS tightens the mass estimate of GJ 3090 b and detects a planet near the stellar rotation period

Pierrot Lamontagne, Drew Weisserman, Charles Cadieux +148

We present an updated characterization of the planetary system orbiting the nearby M2 dwarf GJ 3090 (TOI-177; pc), based on new high-precision radial velocity (RV) observa…
