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…
Elemental abundance pattern and temperature inversion on the dayside of HAT-P-70b observed with CARMENES and PEPSI
B. Guo, F. Yan, Th. Henning +25
Ground-based high-resolution spectroscopy has identified various chemical species in the atmospheres of ultra-hot Jupiters, including neutral and ionized metals, providing key insi…
Upper limits on atmospheric abundances of KELT-11b and WASP-69b from a retrieval approach
F. Lesjak, L. Nortmann, D. Cont +18
WASP-69b and KELT-11b are two low-density hot Jupiters, which are expected to show strong atmospheric features in their transmission spectra. Such features offer valuable insights…
Data availability and requirements relevant for the Ariel space mission and other exoplanet atmosphere applications
Katy L. Chubb, Séverine Robert, Clara Sousa-Silva +52
The goal of this white paper is to provide a snapshot of the data availability and data needs primarily for the Ariel space mission, but also for related atmospheric studies of exo…
The CARMENES search for exoplanets around M dwarfs : Understanding the wavelength dependence of radial velocity measurements
S. V. Jeffers, J. R. Barnes, P. Schöfer +22
Context. Current exoplanet surveys are focused on detecting small exoplanets orbiting in the liquid-water habitable zones of their host stars. Despite the recent significant advanc…
Horizontal and vertical exoplanet thermal structure from a JWST spectroscopic eclipse map
Ryan C. Challener, Megan Weiner Mansfield, Patricio E. Cubillos +33
Highly-irradiated giant exoplanets known as "ultra-hot Jupiters" are anticipated to exhibit large variations of atmospheric temperature and chemistry as a function of longitude, la…
