The Tartu Observatory Fiber-fed Echelle Spectrograph (TOFES) Data Reduction Pipeline
Sandipan P. D. Borthakur, Tõnis Eenmäe, Nikolai Piskunov +9
We introduce the data reduction pipeline for the Tartu Observatory Fiber-fed Echelle Spectrograph (TOFES). TOFES is installed in the Coudé room and will be connected to the 1.5 m…
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…
VLT/CRIRES+ observations of warm Neptune WASP-107 b: Challenges in detecting molecules with ground-based transmission spectroscopy of cooler and cloudy exoplanets
Linn Boldt-Christmas, Adam D. Rains, Nikolai Piskunov +15
Atmospheres of transiting exoplanets can be studied spectroscopically using space-based or ground-based observations. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses, so there are benefi…
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…
TSD: An inverse problem approach for recovering the exoplanetary atmosphere transmission spectrum from high-resolution spectroscopy
Nikolai Piskunov, Adam D. Rains, Linn Boldt-Christmas
Our ability to observe, detect, and characterize exoplanetary atmospheres has grown by leaps and bounds over the last 20 years, aided largely by developments in astronomical instru…
