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…
viper: High-precision radial velocities from the optical to the infrared (Reaching 3 m/s in the K band of CRIRES+ with telluric modelling)
J. Köhler, M. Zechmeister, A. Hatzes +18
In recent years, a number of new instruments and data reduction pipelines have been developed to obtain high-precision radial velocities (RVs). In particular in the optical, consid…
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…
