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…
