Absorbing gas around the WASP-12 planetary system
L. Fossati, T. R. Ayres, C. A. Haswell +3
Near-UV observations of the planet host star WASP-12 uncovered the apparent absence of the normally conspicuous core emission of the Mg2 h&k resonance lines. This anomaly could be…
Near-UV Absorption, Chromospheric Activity, and Star-Planet Interactions in the WASP-12 system
C. A. Haswell, L. Fossati, T. Ayres +15
We observed the extreme close-in hot Jupiter system WASP-12 with HST. Near-UV transits up to three times deeper than the optical transit of WASP-12b reveal extensive diffuse gas, e…
Computing Intrinsic Lyman-alpha Fluxes of F5 V to M5 V Stars
Jeffrey L. Linsky, Kevin France, Tom Ayres
The Lyman-alpha emission line dominates the far-ultraviolet spectra of late-type stars and is a major source for photodissociation of important molecules including H2O, CH4, and CO…
Is the Sun Lighter than the Earth? Isotopic CO in the Photosphere, Viewed through the Lens of 3D Spectrum Synthesis
Thomas R. Ayres, J. R. Lyons, H. -G. Ludwig +2
We consider the formation of solar infrared (2-6 micron) rovibrational bands of carbon monoxide (CO) in CO5BOLD 3D convection models, with the aim to refine abundances of the heavy…
