Precise measurement of WASP-31 b's Rossiter-McLaughlin effect and characterization of the planet transmission spectra
M. Steiner, V. Bourrier, D. Ehrenreich +23
Context. Hot Jupiters are ideal natural laboratories to investigate atmospheric composition and dynamics. However, high-resolution transmission spectroscopy is currently limited by…
Ultra-hot Jupiter atmospheres at high spectral resolution
Stefan Pelletier, Daniel Kitzmann, Valentina Vaulato +3
Observations of ultra-hot Jupiters offer an unprecedented opportunity to study the physics of some of the most extreme planetary atmospheres known. With exceedingly high amounts of…
Atmospheric composition and circulation of the ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-121b with joint NIRPS, HARPS and CRIRES+ transit spectroscopy
Valentina Vaulato, Melissa J. Hobson, Romain Allart +57
Ultra-hot Jupiters like WASP-121b provide unique laboratories for studying atmospheric chemistry and dynamics under extreme irradiation. Constraining their composition and circulat…
Hydride ion continuum hides absorption signatures in the NIRPS near-infrared transmission spectrum of the ultra-hot gas giant WASP-189b
Valentina Vaulato, Stefan Pelletier, David Ehrenreich +77
Ultra-hot Jupiters showcase extreme atmospheric conditions, including molecular dissociation, ionisation, and significant day-to-night temperature contrasts. Their close proximity…
The ESPRESSO transmission spectrum of HD189733b : Extracting the planetary sodium and lithium signatures amid stellar contamination
D. Mounzer, W. Dethier, C. Lovis +20
While transmission spectroscopy has allowed us to detect many atomic and molecular species in exoplanet atmospheres, the improvement in resolution and signal-to-noise ratio enabled…
Three Hot Jupiters transiting K-dwarfs with a significant heavy element mass
Y. G. C. Frensch, F. Bouchy, G. Lo Curto +50
Albeit at a lower frequency than around hotter stars, short-period gas giants around low-mass stars ( K) do exist, despite predictions from planetary populat…
