Cold and eccentric: a high-spectral resolution view of 51 Eri b with VLT/HiRISE
A. Denis, A. Vigan, G. Chauvin +35
Discovered almost 10 years ago, the giant planet 51 Eridani b is one of the least separated (0.2 arcsec) and faintest (J = 19.74 mag) directly imaged exoplanets known to date. Its…
Multi-modal atmospheric characterization of Pictoris b: Adding high-resolution continuum spectra from GRAVITY
M. Ravet, M. Bonnefoy, G. Chauvin +24
We present the first VLTI/GRAVITY observations at R of Pic b. These four high S/N (20) K-band spectra conserve both the pseudo-continuum and molecular abso…
Constraints on the Orbit of the Young Substellar Companion GQ Lup B from High-Resolution Spectroscopy and VLTI/GRAVITY Astrometry
Vidya Venkatesan, S. Blunt, J. J. Wang +99
Understanding the orbits of giant planets is critical for testing planet formation models, particularly at wide separations greater than 10 au where traditional core accretion beco…
The planetary-mass-limit VLT/SINFONI library: Spectral extraction and atmospheric characterization via forward modeling
P. Palma-Bifani, M. Bonnefoy, G. Chauvin +9
We aim to deepen our understanding of the M-L transition on planetary-mass companions and isolated brown dwarfs, and search for evidence of possible differences between these two p…
Characterization of AF Lep b at high spectral resolution with VLT/HiRISE
A. Denis, A. Vigan, J. Costes +41
Since the recent discovery of the directly imaged super-Jovian planet AF Lep b, several studies have been conducted to characterize its atmosphere and constrain its orbital paramet…
