Abundance analysis of benchmark M dwarfs

T. Olander, U. Heiter, N. Piskunov +2

Abundances of M dwarfs, being the most numerous stellar type in the Galaxy, can enhance our understanding of planet formation processes. They can also be used to study the chemical…

Retrieving day- and nightside atmospheric properties of the ultra-hot Jupiter TOI-2109b. Detection of Fe and CO emission lines and evidence for inefficient heat transport

D. Cont, L. Nortmann, F. Lesjak +32

The ultra-hot Jupiter (UHJ) TOI-2109b marks the lower edge of the equilibrium temperature gap between 3500 K and 4500 K, an unexplored thermal regime that separates KELT-9b, the ho…

Retrieving wind properties from the ultra-hot dayside of WASP-189b with CRIRES

F. Lesjak, L. Nortmann, D. Cont +12

The extreme temperature gradients from day- to nightside in the atmospheres of hot Jupiters generate fast winds in the form of equatorial jets or day-to-night flows. Observations o…

A conclusive non-detection of magnetic field in the Am star o Peg with high-precision near-infrared spectroscopy

O. Kochukhov, A. M. Amarsi, A. Lavail +10

The A-type metallic-line (Am) stars are typically considered to be non-magnetic or possessing very weak sub-G magnetic fields. This view has been repeatedly challenged in the liter…
