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…
A near-infrared interferometric survey of debris disc stars. II. CHARA/FLUOR observations of six early-type dwarfs
O. Absil, E. Di Folco, A. Merand +15
High-precision interferometric observations of six early-type main sequence stars known to harbour cold debris discs have been obtained in the near-infrared K band with the FLUOR i…
Misaligned spin-orbit in the XO-3 planetary system?
G. Hebrard, F. Bouchy, F. Pont +20
The transiting extrasolar planet XO-3b is remarkable, with a high mass and eccentric orbit. The unusual characteristics make it interesting to test whether its orbital plane is par…
Composition of Ices in Low-Mass Extrasolar Planets
Ulysse Marboeuf, Olivier Mousis, David Ehrenreich +4
We study the formation conditions of icy planetesimals in protoplanetary disks in order to determine the composition of ices in small and cold extrasolar planets. Assuming that ice…
New observations of the extended hydrogen exosphere of the extrasolar planet HD209458b
David Ehrenreich, Alain Lecavelier des Etangs, Guillaume Hébrard +5
Atomic hydrogen escaping from the planet HD209458b provides the largest observational signature ever detected for an extrasolar planet atmosphere. However, the Space Telescope Imag…
