Unraveling the Mystery of the Peculiar and Young Hot Jupiter CoRoT-2b II: Phase Resolved Emission Spectroscopy with VLT/CRIRES+ and Gemini-S/IGRINS
Aurora Y. Kesseli, Siddharth Gandhi, Lisa Dang +8
Hot Jupiters are expected to be tidally locked and synchronously rotating due to their short orbital periods. These conditions create large day-night temperature contrasts and are…
The Days Drag On on WASP-121 b: Interpreting its NIRISS Spectroscopic Phase Curve with General Circulation Models
Robert C. Frazier, Emily Rauscher, Jared Splinter +18
Ultra-hot Jupiters present extreme atmospheric phenomena not found in the Solar System. These planets' daysides experience strong temperature inversions, molecular species (includi…
Surprise non-detection of Upsilon Andromedae b with MIRC-X and MYSTIC at the CHARA Array
Tyler Gardner, John D. Monnier, Stefan Kraus +11
Ground-based long baseline interferometry is a powerful tool for characterizing exoplanets which are too close to their host star to be imaged with single-dish telescopes. The CHAR…
Limb Asymmetries on WASP-39b: A Multi-GCM Comparison of Chemistry, Clouds, and Hazes
Maria E. Steinrueck, Arjun B. Savel, Duncan A. Christie +27
With JWST, observing separate spectra of the morning and evening limbs of hot Jupiters has finally become a reality. The first such observation was reported for WASP-39b, where the…
First Results from WINERED: Detection of Emission Lines from Neutral Iron and a Combined Set of Trace Species on the Dayside of WASP-189 b
Lennart van Sluijs, Emily Rauscher, Eliza M. -R. Kempton +9
Ground and space-based observations have revealed that Ultra Hot Jupiters (UHJs,~) typically have inverted thermal profiles, while cooler hot Jupiters…
Assessing robustness and bias in 1D retrievals of 3D Global Circulation Models at high spectral resolution: a WASP-76 b simulation case study in emission
Lennart van Sluijs, Hayley Beltz, Isaac Malsky +4
High-resolution spectroscopy (HRS) of exoplanet atmospheres has successfully detected many chemical species and is quickly moving toward detailed characterization of the chemical a…
