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…
Spinning out of focus: The challenge of rotational line broadening in exoplanet reflection spectroscopy
T. O. Winterhalder, K. Molaverdikhani, D. Cont +17
Detecting light reflected off the dayside of an exoplanet in high-resolution spectroscopic data has proved to be a notoriously difficult endeavour. Despite several attempts, the fa…
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…
A planetary system with a sub-Neptune planet in the habitable zone of TOI-2093
J. Sanz-Forcada, E. González-Ãlvarez, M. R. Zapatero Osorio +33
Aims. We aim to confirm and measure the mass of the transiting planet candidate around the K5V star TOI-2093, previously announced by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TES…
Discovery of a transiting hot water-world candidate orbiting Ross 176 with TESS and CARMENES
S. GeraldÃa-González, J. Orell-Miquel, E. Pallé +30
The case of Ross 176 is a late K-type star that hosts a promising water-world candidate planet. The star has a radius of =0.5690.020 and a mass of …
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…
