New observations of the extended hydrogen exosphere of the extrasolar planet HD209458b
David Ehrenreich, Alain Lecavelier des Etangs, Guillaume Hébrard +5
Atomic hydrogen escaping from the planet HD209458b provides the largest observational signature ever detected for an extrasolar planet atmosphere. However, the Space Telescope Imag…
Determining atmospheric conditions at the terminator of the hot-Jupiter HD209458b
David K. Sing, A. Vidal-Madjar, A. Lecavelier des Etangs +3
We present a theoretical model fit to the HST/STIS optical transit transmission spectrum of HD209458b. In our fit, we use the sodium absorption line profile along with the Rayleigh…
Water vapour in the atmosphere of a transiting extrasolar planet
Giovanna Tinetti, Alfred Vidal-Madjar, Mao-Chang Liang +10
Water is predicted to be among, if not the most abundant molecular species after hydrogen in the atmospheres of close-in extrasolar giant planets (hot-Jupiters) Several attempts ha…
