A medium-resolution spectrum of the exoplanet HIP 65426 b
Simon Petrus, Mickaël Bonnefoy, Gaël Chauvin +18
Medium-resolution integral-field spectrographs (IFS) coupled with adaptive-optics such as Keck/OSIRIS, VLT/MUSE, or SINFONI are appearing as a new avenue for enhancing the detectio…
Detection of the hydrogen Balmer lines in the ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-33b
F. Yan, A. Wyttenbach, N. Casasayas-Barris +24
Ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs) are highly irradiated giant exoplanets with extremely high day-side temperatures, which lead to thermal dissociation of most of the molecular species. It…
Hot Exoplanet Atmospheres Resolved with Transit Spectroscopy (HEARTS) VI. Non-detection of sodium with HARPS on the bloated super-Neptune WASP-127b
J. V. Seidel, M. Lendl, V. Bourrier +17
WASP-127b is one of the puffiest exoplanets found to date, with a mass only Neptune masses, but a radius larger than Jupiter. It is also located at the border of the Neptune…
A data-driven approach to constraining the atmospheric temperature structure of KELT-9b
L. Fossati, D. Shulyak, A. G. Sreejith +10
Context. Observationally constraining the atmospheric temperature-pressure (TP) profile of exoplanets is an important step forward for improving planetary atmosphere models, furthe…
A search for He I airglow emission from the hot Jupiter tau Boo b
Yapeng Zhang, I. A. G. Snellen, P. Mollière +4
The helium absorption line at 10830 Å, originating from the metastable triplet state 2S, has been suggested as an excellent probe for the extended atmospheres of hot Jupiters a…
Hot Exoplanet Atmospheres Resolved with Transit Spectroscopy (HEARTS) V. Detection of sodium on the bloated super-Neptune WASP-166b
J. V. Seidel, D. Ehrenreich, V. Bourrier +17
Planet formation processes or evolution mechanisms are surmised to be at the origin of the hot Neptune desert. Studying exoplanets currently living within or at the edge of this de…
Hot Exoplanet Atmospheres Resolved with Transit Spectroscopy (HEARTS) IV. A spectral inventory of atoms and molecules in the high-resolution transmission spectrum of WASP-121 b
H. J. Hoeijmakers, J. V. Seidel, L. Pino +22
Aims: We survey the transmission spectrum of WASP-121 b for line-absorption by metals and molecules at high spectral resolution, and elaborate on existing interpretations of the op…
Mass loss rate and local thermodynamic state of KELT-9 b thermosphere from the hydrogen Balmer series
A. Wyttenbach, P. Mollière, D. Ehrenreich +12
KELT-9 b, the hottest known exoplanet with K, is the archetype of a new planet class known as ultra-hot Jupiters. These exoplanets are presumed to have an atmosphere do…
Neutral Iron Emission Lines From The Day-side Of KELT-9b -- The GAPS Programme With HARPS-N At TNG XX
L. Pino, J. M. Désert, M. Brogi +47
We present the first detection of atomic emission lines from the atmosphere of an exoplanet. We detect neutral iron lines from the day-side of KELT-9b (Teq 4, 000 K). We com…
The multi-planet system TOI-421 -- A warm Neptune and a super puffy mini-Neptune transiting a G9 V star in a visual binary
Ilaria Carleo, Davide Gandolfi, Oscar Barragán +110
We report the discovery of a warm Neptune and a hot sub-Neptune transiting TOI-421 (BD-14 1137, TIC 94986319), a bright (V=9.9) G9 dwarf star in a visual binary system observed by…
COSMOGRAIL XIX: Time delays in 18 strongly lensed quasars from 15 years of optical monitoring
M. Millon, F. Courbin, V. Bonvin +16
We present the results of 15 years of monitoring lensed quasars, which was conducted by the COSMOGRAIL programme at the Leonhard Euler 1.2m Swiss Telescope. The decade-long light c…
Hot Exoplanet Atmospheres Resolved with Transit Spectroscopy (HEARTS) III. Atmospheric structure of the misaligned ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-121b
V. Bourrier, D. Ehrenreich, M. Lendl +21
Ultra-hot Jupiters offer interesting prospects for expanding our theories on dynamical evolution and the properties of extremely irradiated atmospheres. In this context, we present…
