The Origin of Jupiter's Great Red Spot
Agustín Sánchez-Lavega, Enrique García-Melendo, Jon Legarreta +3
Jupiter's Grat Red Spot (GRS) is the largest and longest-lived vortex of all solar system planets but its lifetime is debated and its formation mechanism remains hidden. G. D. Cass…
An Enduring Rapidly Moving Storm as a Guide to Saturn's Equatorial Jet's Complex Structure
A. Sánchez-Lavega, E. García-Melendo, S. Perez-Hoyos +14
Saturn has an intense and broad eastward equatorial jet with a complex three-dimensional structure mixed with time variability. The equatorial region experiences strong seasonal in…
XO-7 b: A transiting hot Jupiter with a massive companion on a wide orbit
Nicolas Crouzet, Brian F. Healy, Guillaume Hébrard +16
Transiting planets orbiting bright stars are the most favorable targets for follow-up and characterization. We report the discovery of the transiting hot Jupiter XO-7 b and of a se…
Discovery of XO-6b: a hot Jupiter transiting a fast rotating F5 star on an oblique orbit
N. Crouzet, P. R. McCullough, D. Long +20
Only a few hot Jupiters are known to orbit around fast rotating stars. These exoplanets are harder to detect and characterize and may be less common than around slow rotators. Here…
Jupiter as an exoplanet: UV to NIR transmission spectrum reveals hazes, a Na layer and possibly stratospheric H2O-ice clouds
P. Montañes-Rodriguez, B Gonzalez-Merino, E. Palle +2
Currently, the analysis of transmission spectra is the most successful technique to probe the chemical composition of exoplanet atmospheres. But the accuracy of these measurements…
Potential Biases in the Detection of Planetary Systems with Large Transit Timing Variations
Enrique Garcia-Melendo, Mercedes Lopez-Morales
The Transit Timing Variations (TTVs) technique provides a powerful tool to detect additional planets in transiting exoplanetary systems. In this paper we show how transiting planet…
