Exploring the ultrahot Neptune LTT 9779 b with CRIRES+. Non-detection of helium transmission spectra and detection of HO on the dayside

S. Liu, F. Yan, L. Nortmann +15

Ultrahot Neptunes reside in the most extreme irradiation regime of the hot Neptune desert and remain challenging targets for atmospheric characterization because of their low plane…

51 Peg b revisited with VLT/CRIRES+. Constraints on atmospheric thermal structure, chemical composition, and an alternative orbital solution

D. Cont, L. Nortmann, F. Lesjak +18

So far, the atmospheres of non-transiting exoplanets remain poorly explored, and the potential of high-resolution spectroscopy for determining key planetary parameters beyond their…

Cloudy with a chance of metals: Indications of CO in the atmosphere of GJ 1214 b from high-resolution K-band spectroscopy

L. Nortmann, D. Cont, F. Lesjak +13

Sub-Neptune exoplanets frequently exhibit muted transmission spectra, with GJ 1214 b being the most prominent example. Following years of intense observing campaigns yielding featu…

Mass determination of the ultra-short-period planet LHS 3844 b. First K-band radial velocity measurements with CRIRES+

E. Nagel, J. Köhler, M. Zechmeister +21

We present the first planet mass measurement obtained with CRIRES+ radial velocity (RV) observations using the K-band gas cell. Our target, LHS 3844 b (TOI-136), is a transiting su…

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…

Exploring the ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-178b. Constraints on atmospheric chemistry and dynamics from a joint retrieval of VLT/CRIRES and space photometric data

D. Cont, L. Nortmann, F. Yan +14

Despite recent progress in the spectroscopic characterization of individual exoplanets, the atmospheres of key ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs) still lack comprehensive investigations. Th…

CRIRES transmission spectroscopy of WASP-127b. Detection of the resolved signatures of a supersonic equatorial jet and cool poles in a hot planet

L. Nortmann, F. Lesjak, F. Yan +14

General circulation models of gas giant exoplanets predict equatorial jets that drive inhomogeneities in the atmospheric physical parameters across the planetary surface. We studie…
