High-Resolution Echelle Spectroscopy for Solar System Planets: A Planet-as-Point-Source Analogy
Parvathy Menon, Sivarani T, Sriram S +4
Transmission spectroscopy has proven to be an effective technique for characterizing exoplanet atmospheres. However, transmission spectroscopy requires planetary transits, which oc…
Addressing wavelength-correlated systematics in exoplanet transmission spectroscopy: a 2D Gaussian Process approach
Lokesh Manickavasaham, Manjunath Bestha, Sivarani Thirupathi +2
Ground-based transmission spectroscopy is often dominated by systematics, which obstructs our ability to leverage the advantages of larger aperture sizes compared to space-based ob…
A multi-object approach for studying exoplanet atmospheres using high-resolution spectrographs
Manjunath Bestha, Athira Unni, T. Sivarani +5
Atmospheric characterization of exoplanets has traditionally relied on Low-Resolution Transmission Spectroscopy (LRTS), obtained from both space- and ground-based facilities, as we…
An Initial Assessment of the Hanle Echelle Spectrograph for Exoplanet Atmosphere Studies
Manjunath Bestha, Athira Unni, T. Sivarani +6
Transmission spectroscopy is an effective technique for probing exoplanetary atmospheres. While most observations have relied on space facilities such as HST and JWST, ground-based…
A multi-functional fiber positioning system for Extremely Large Telescopes
Manjunath Bestha, T. Sivarani, Arun Surya +7
We present a conceptual design for a fiber positioning system for multi-object high-resolution spectroscopy, designed to be compatible with the upcoming large telescopes with a wid…
