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…
HAT-P-70b through the Eyes of MAROON-X: Constraining Elemental Abundances of Metals and Insights on Atmosphere Dynamics
Shi Lin Sun, Stefan Pelletier, Björn Benneke +6
Ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs) are exceptional laboratories for studying planetary atmospheres under extreme irradiation conditions. With close-in tidally locked orbits, these planets c…
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…
Precise measurement of WASP-31 b's Rossiter-McLaughlin effect and characterization of the planet transmission spectra
M. Steiner, V. Bourrier, D. Ehrenreich +23
Context. Hot Jupiters are ideal natural laboratories to investigate atmospheric composition and dynamics. However, high-resolution transmission spectroscopy is currently limited by…
Ultra-hot Jupiter atmospheres at high spectral resolution
Stefan Pelletier, Daniel Kitzmann, Valentina Vaulato +3
Observations of ultra-hot Jupiters offer an unprecedented opportunity to study the physics of some of the most extreme planetary atmospheres known. With exceedingly high amounts of…
