Phase-curve approach to study atmospheric flows in hot Jupiters
D. Shulyak, W. Dietrich, V. Parmentier +5
Short-orbit gaseous exoplanets are the best targets to study atmospheric dynamics. A time series of emission observations collected at various photometric filters (phase curves) pr…
51 Peg b revisited with VLT/CRIRES+. Constraints on atmospheric thermal structure, chemical composition, and an alternative orbital solution
D. Cont, L. Nortmann, F. Lesjak +18
So far, the atmospheres of non-transiting exoplanets remain poorly explored, and the potential of high-resolution spectroscopy for determining key planetary parameters beyond their…
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…
Comparative study of small-scale magnetic fields on Boo A using optical and near-infrared spectroscopy
A. Hahlin, O. Kochukhov, P. Chaturvedi +12
Magnetic field investigations of Sun-like stars, using Zeeman splitting of non-polarised spectra, in the optical and H-band have found significantly different magnetic field streng…
Retrieving wind properties from the ultra-hot dayside of WASP-189b with CRIRES
F. Lesjak, L. Nortmann, D. Cont +12
The extreme temperature gradients from day- to nightside in the atmospheres of hot Jupiters generate fast winds in the form of equatorial jets or day-to-night flows. Observations o…
