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…
A Search for FeH in Hot-Jupiter Atmospheres with High-Dispersion Spectroscopy
Aurora Kesseli, I. A. G. Snellen, F. J. Alonso-Floriano +2
Most of the molecules detected thus far in exoplanet atmospheres, such as water and CO, are present for a large range of pressures and temperatures. In contrast, metal hydrides exi…
A He I upper atmosphere around the warm Neptune GJ 3470b
E. Palle, L. Nortmann, N. Casasayas-Barris +24
High resolution transit spectroscopy has proven to be a reliable technique for the characterization of the chemical composition of exoplanet atmospheres. Taking advantage of the br…
Modelling the He I triplet absorption at 10830 Angstroms in the atmosphere of HD 209458 b
M. Lampón, M. López-Puertas, L. M. Lara +16
HD 209458b is an exoplanet with an upper atmosphere undergoing blow-off escape that has mainly been studied using measurements of the Ly-alpha absorption. Recently, high-resolution…
Is there NaI in the atmosphere of HD 209458b? Effect of the centre-to-limb variation and Rossiter-McLaughlin effect in transmission spectroscopy studies
N. Casasayas-Barris, E. Palle, F. Yan +22
HD 209458b was the first transiting planet discovered, and the first for which an atmosphere, in particular NaI, was detected. With time, it has become one of the most frequently s…
Ionized calcium in the atmospheres of two ultra-hot exoplanets WASP-33b and KELT-9b
F. Yan, N. Casasayas-Barris, K. Molaverdikhani +25
Ultra-hot Jupiters are emerging as a new class of exoplanets. Studying their chemical compositions and temperature structures will improve the understanding of their mass loss rate…
A giant exoplanet orbiting a very low-mass star challenges planet formation models
J. C. Morales, A. J. Mustill, I. Ribas +179
Statistical analyses from exoplanet surveys around low-mass stars indicate that super-Earth and Neptune-mass planets are more frequent than gas giants around such stars, in agreeme…
Water vapor detection in the transmission spectra of HD 209458 b with the CARMENES NIR channel
A. Sánchez-López, F. J. Alonso-Floriano, M. López-Puertas +31
Aims: We aim at detecting HO in the atmosphere of the hot Jupiter HD 209458 b and perform a multi-band study in the near infrared with CARMENES. Methods: The HO absorption…
He I 10830 Å in the transmission spectrum of HD 209458 b
F. J. Alonso-Floriano, I. A. G. Snellen, S. Czesla +27
Context: Recently, the He I triplet at 10830 Å has been rediscovered as an excellent probe of the extended and possibly evaporating atmospheres of close-in transiting planets. This…
The CARMENES search for exoplanets around M dwarfs. Two temperate Earth-mass planet candidates around Teegarden's Star
M. Zechmeister, S. Dreizler, I. Ribas +182
Context. Teegarden's Star is the brightest and one of the nearest ultra-cool dwarfs in the solar neighbourhood. For its late spectral type (M7.0V), the star shows relatively little…
Ground-based detection of an extended helium atmosphere in the Saturn-mass exoplanet WASP-69b
Lisa Nortmann, Enric Pallé, Michael Salz +25
Hot gas giant exoplanets can lose part of their atmosphere due to strong stellar irradiation, affecting their physical and chemical evolution. Studies of atmospheric escape from ex…
Detection of He I Å absorption on HD 189733 b with CARMENES high-resolution transmission spectroscopy
M. Salz, S. Czesla, P. C. Schneider +35
We present three transit observations of HD 189733 b obtained with the high-resolution spectrograph CARMENES at Calar Alto. A strong absorption signal is detected in the near-infra…
Multiple water band detections in the CARMENES near-infrared transmission spectrum of HD 189733 b
F. J. Alonso-Floriano, A. Sánchez-López, I. A. G. Snellen +27
Aims: We explore the capabilities of CARMENES for characterizing hot-Jupiter atmospheres by targeting multiple water bands, in particular, those at 1.15 and 1.4 m. Hubble Space…
The CARMENES search for exoplanets around M dwarfs - HD 147379b: A nearby Neptune in the temperate zone of an early-M dwarf
A. Reiners, I. Ribas, M. Zechmeister +169
We report on the first star discovered to host a planet detected by radial velocity (RV) observations obtained within the CARMENES survey for exoplanets around M dwarfs. HD 147379…
Exoplanets around Low-mass Stars Unveiled by K2
Teruyuki Hirano, Fei Dai, Davide Gandolfi +38
We present the detection and follow-up observations of planetary candidates around low-mass stars observed by the K2 mission. Based on light-curve analysis, adaptive-optics imaging…
