The MgI line: a new probe of the atmospheres of evaporating exoplanets
V. Bourrier, A. Lecavelier des Etangs, A. Vidal-Madjar
Transit observations of HD209458b in the UV revealed signatures of neutral magnesium escaping the planet's upper atmosphere. The absorption detected in the MgI line provides unprec…
Detecting the spin-orbit misalignment of the super-Earth 55 Cnc e
Vincent Bourrier, Guillaume Hébrard
We present time-resolved spectroscopy of transits of the super-Earth 55 Cnc e using HARPS-N observations. We devised an empirical correction for the "color effect" affecting the ra…
Modeling magnesium escape from HD209458b atmosphere
V. Bourrier, A. Lecavelier des Etangs, A. Vidal-Madjar
Transit observations in the MgI line of HD209458b revealed signatures of neutral magnesium escaping the upper atmosphere of the planet, while no atmospheric absorption was found in…
