Effect of stellar spot-only spectral lines in high-resolution transit spectroscopy

W. Dethier, E. Cristo, O. D. S. Demangeon +3

We investigate how a representative single spectral line present only in a stellar spot can introduce distortions in high-resolution planetary absorption spectra. Specifically, we…

Exploring the surface of HD 189733 via Doppler shadow analysis of planetary transits

E. C. Gonçalves, E. Cristo, W. Dethier +6

Transmission spectroscopy has greatly advanced the study of exoplanet atmospheres, but stellar surface heterogeneities can contaminate transit spectra. Characterising how stellar s…

Impact of stellar spots on the high-resolution transmission spectra of a giant planet around a Sun-like star

Jennifer P. Lucero, O. D. S. Demangeon, E. Cristo +2

Transmission spectroscopy has enabled the analysis of exoplanet atmospheres. However, a major challenge is the noise from host stars, caused by stellar activity such as dark spots…

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…

SOAPv4: A new step toward modeling stellar signatures in exoplanet research

E. Cristo, J. P. Faria, N. C. Santos +6

We present and describe a new version of the spot oscillation and planet code, SOAPv4. Our aim is to demonstrate its capabilities in modeling stellar activity in the context of RV…

ATREIDES I. Embarking on a trek across the exo-Neptunian landscape with the TOI-421 system

V. Bourrier, M. Steiner, A. Castro-González +75

The distribution of close-in exoplanets is shaped by the interplay between atmospheric and dynamical processes. The Neptunian Desert, Ridge, and Savanna illustrate the sensitivity…

Studying the variability of the He triplet to understand the detection limits of evaporating exoplanet atmospheres

Samson J. Mercier, Xavier Dumusque, Vincent Bourrier +20

With more than a dozen significant detections, the helium triplet has emerged as a key tracer of evaporating exoplanet atmospheres. This near-infrared feature can be observed from…

The ESPRESSO transmission spectrum of HD189733b : Extracting the planetary sodium and lithium signatures amid stellar contamination

D. Mounzer, W. Dethier, C. Lovis +20

While transmission spectroscopy has allowed us to detect many atomic and molecular species in exoplanet atmospheres, the improvement in resolution and signal-to-noise ratio enabled…

Assessing the residual biases in high-resolution transit absorption spectra correction

W. Dethier, B. Tessore

In recent years it has become common practice to divide observed transit absorption spectra by synthetic absorption spectra computed for the transit of an atmosphere-less planet. T…

The ANTARESS workflow I. Optimal extraction of spatially resolved stellar spectra with high-resolution transit spectroscopy

V. Bourrier, J. -B. Delisle, C. Lovis +17

High-resolution spectrographs open a detailed window onto the atmospheres of stars and planets. As the number of systems observed with different instruments grows, it is crucial to…

Probing atmospheric escape through metastable He I triplet lines in 15 exoplanets observed with SPIRou

A. Masson, S. Vinatier, B. Bézard +23

For several years, the metastable helium triplet line has been successfully used as a tracer to probe atmospheric escape in transiting exoplanets. This absorption in the near-infra…

The Rossiter-McLaughlin effect and exoplanet transits: A delicate association at medium and low spectral resolution

Yann Carteret, Vincent Bourrier, William Dethier

The characterization of exoplanetary atmospheres via transit spectroscopy is based on the comparison between the stellar spectrum filtered through the atmosphere and the unadultera…

DREAM: III.A helium survey in exoplanets on the edge of the hot Neptune desert with GIANO-B@TNG

G. Guilluy, V. Bourrier, Y. Jaziri +9

The population of close-in exoplanets features a desert of hot Neptunes whose origin is uncertain. These planets may have lost their atmosphere, eroding into mini-Neptunes and supe…

Hot Exoplanet Atmospheres Resolved with Transit Spectroscopy (HEARTS) VIII. Nondetection of sodium in the atmosphere of the aligned planet KELT-10b

M. Steiner, O. Attia, D. Ehrenreich +17

We searched for potential atmospheric species in KELT-10b, focusing on sodium doublet lines (Na i; 589 nm) and the Balmer alpha line (H ; 656 nm) in the transmission spectrum. F…
