TiO and VO broad band absorption features in the optical spectrum of the atmosphere of the hot-Jupiter HD209458b
J. -M. Desert, A. Vidal-Madjar, A. Lecavelier des Etangs +4
The presence of titanium oxide (TiO) and vanadium oxide (VO) gas phase species is searched for in the atmosphere of the hot Jupiter HD209458b. We compared a model for the planets t…
Atmospheric composition and structure of HD209458b
J. -M. Désert, A. Vidal-Madjar, A. Lecavelier des Etangs +4
Transiting planets like HD209458b offer a unique opportunity to scrutinize their atmospheric composition and structure. Transit spectroscopy probes the transition region between th…
Rayleigh scattering by H2 in the extrasolar planet HD209458b
A. Lecavelier des Etangs, A. Vidal-Madjar, J. -M. Desert +1
Transiting planets, such as HD209458b, offer a unique opportunity to scrutinize the planetary atmospheric content. Although molecular hydrogen is expected to be the main atmospheri…
Determining atmospheric conditions at the terminator of the hot-Jupiter HD209458b
David K. Sing, A. Vidal-Madjar, A. Lecavelier des Etangs +3
We present a theoretical model fit to the HST/STIS optical transit transmission spectrum of HD209458b. In our fit, we use the sodium absorption line profile along with the Rayleigh…
HST/STIS Optical Transit Transmission Spectra of the hot-Jupiter HD209458b
David K. Sing, A. Vidal-Madjar, J. -M. Desert +2
We present the transmission spectra of the hot-Jupiter HD209458b taken with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph aboard the Hubble Space Telescope. Our analysis combines data a…
A Spitzer Search for Water in the Transiting Exoplanet HD189733b
David Ehrenreich, Guillaume Hébrard, Alain Lecavelier Des Etangs +5
We present Spitzer Space Telescope observations of the extrasolar planet HD189733b primary transit, obtained simultaneously at 3.6 and 5.8 microns with the Infrared Array Camera. T…
