SOPHIE velocimetry of Kepler transit candidates II. KOI-428b: a hot Jupiter transiting a subgiant F-star
A. Santerne, R. F. Diaz, F. Bouchy +7
We report the discovery of a hot Jupiter transiting a subgiant star with an orbital period of 6.87 days thanks to public photometric data from the Kepler space mission and new radi…
The upper atmosphere of the exoplanet HD209458b revealed by the sodium D lines: Temperature-pressure profile, ionization layer, and thermosphere
A. Vidal-Madjar, D. K. Sing, A. Lecavelier des Etangs +6
A complete reassessment of the HST observations of the transits of the extrasolar planet HD209458b has provided a transmission spectrum of the atmosphere over a wide range of wavel…
SOPHIE velocimetry of Kepler transit candidates. I. Detection of the low-mass white dwarf KOI-74b
David Ehrenreich, Anne-Marie Lagrange, François Bouchy +19
The Kepler mission has detected transits and occultations of a hot compact object around an early-type star, the Kepler Object of Interest KOI 74. The mass of this transiting objec…
Transit spectrophotometry of the exoplanet HD189733b. II. New Spitzer observations at 3.6 microns
J. -M. Desert, D. Sing, A. Vidal-Madjar +6
We present a new primary transit observation of the hot-jupiter HD189733b, obtained at 3.6 microns with the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) onboard the Spitzer Space Telescope. Previo…
Gran Telescopio Canarias OSIRIS Transiting Exoplanet Atmospheric Survey: Detection of potassium in XO-2b from narrowband spectrophotometry
D. K. Sing, J. -M. Desert, J. J. Fortney +8
We present Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) optical transit narrow-band photometry of the hot-Jupiter exoplanet XO-2b using the OSIRIS instrument. This unique instrument has the capa…
The Earth as an extrasolar transiting planet: Earth's atmospheric composition and thickness revealed by Lunar eclipse observations
Alfred Vidal-Madjar, Luc Arnold, David Ehrenreich +24
An important goal within the quest for detecting an Earth-like extrasolar planet, will be to identify atmospheric gaseous bio-signatures. Observations of the light transmitted thro…
