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…

Mass determination of the ultra-short-period planet LHS 3844 b. First K-band radial velocity measurements with CRIRES+

E. Nagel, J. Köhler, M. Zechmeister +21

We present the first planet mass measurement obtained with CRIRES+ radial velocity (RV) observations using the K-band gas cell. Our target, LHS 3844 b (TOI-136), is a transiting su…

Retrieving day- and nightside atmospheric properties of the ultra-hot Jupiter TOI-2109b. Detection of Fe and CO emission lines and evidence for inefficient heat transport

D. Cont, L. Nortmann, F. Lesjak +32

The ultra-hot Jupiter (UHJ) TOI-2109b marks the lower edge of the equilibrium temperature gap between 3500 K and 4500 K, an unexplored thermal regime that separates KELT-9b, the ho…

Exploring the ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-178b. Constraints on atmospheric chemistry and dynamics from a joint retrieval of VLT/CRIRES and space photometric data

D. Cont, L. Nortmann, F. Yan +14

Despite recent progress in the spectroscopic characterization of individual exoplanets, the atmospheres of key ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs) still lack comprehensive investigations. Th…

CRIRES transmission spectroscopy of WASP-127b. Detection of the resolved signatures of a supersonic equatorial jet and cool poles in a hot planet

L. Nortmann, F. Lesjak, F. Yan +14

General circulation models of gas giant exoplanets predict equatorial jets that drive inhomogeneities in the atmospheric physical parameters across the planetary surface. We studie…

Weakened Magnetic Braking in the Exoplanet Host Star 51 Peg

Travis S. Metcalfe, Klaus G. Strassmeier, Ilya V. Ilyin +11

The consistently low activity level of the old solar analog 51 Peg not only facilitated the discovery of the first hot Jupiter, but also led to the suggestion that the star could b…
