CUTE reveals escaping metals in the upper atmosphere of the ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-189b
A. G. Sreejith, Kevin France, Luca Fossati +12
Ultraviolet observations of Ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs), exoplanets with temperatures over 2000\,K, provide us with an opportunity to investigate if and how atmospheric escape shapes…
The GAPS programme at TNG. XLV. HI Balmer lines transmission spectroscopy and NLTE atmospheric modelling of the ultra-hot Jupiter KELT-20b/MASCARA-2b
L. Fossati, F. Biassoni, G. M. Cappello +27
We aim at extracting the transmission spectrum of the HI Balmer lines of the ultra-hot Jupiter (UHJ) KELT-20b/MASCARA-2b from observations and to further compare the results with w…
Photochemical hazes dramatically alter temperature structure and atmospheric circulation in 3D simulations of hot Jupiters
Maria E. Steinrueck, Tommi Koskinen, Panayotis Lavvas +5
Photochemical hazes are expected to form in hot Jupiter atmospheres and may explain the strong scattering slopes and muted spectral features observed in the transmission spectra of…
A hydrodynamic study of the escape of metal species and excited hydrogen from the atmosphere of the hot Jupiter WASP-121b
Chenliang Huang, Tommi Koskinen, Panayotis Lavvas +1
In the near-UV and optical transmission spectrum of the hot Jupiter WASP-121b, recent observations have detected strong absorption features of Mg, Fe, Ca, and H, extending outsi…
The Colorado Ultraviolet Transit Experiment (CUTE) Mission Overview
Kevin France, Brian Fleming, Arika Egan +18
Atmospheric escape is a fundamental process that affects the structure, composition, and evolution of many planets. The signatures of escape are detectable on close-in, gaseous exo…
