Retrieving wind properties from the ultra-hot dayside of WASP-189b with CRIRES

F. Lesjak, L. Nortmann, D. Cont +12

The extreme temperature gradients from day- to nightside in the atmospheres of hot Jupiters generate fast winds in the form of equatorial jets or day-to-night flows. Observations o…

CRIRES+ and ESPRESSO reveal an atmosphere enriched in volatiles relative to refractories on the ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-121b

Stefan Pelletier, Björn Benneke, Yayaati Chachan +11

One of the outstanding goals of the planetary science community is to measure the present-day atmospheric composition of planets and link this back to formation. As giant planets a…

The variability of Betelgeuse explained by surface convection

Quentin Pilate, Arturo López Ariste, Alexis Lavail +1

Context. Betelgeuse is a red supergiant (RSG) that is known to vary semi-regularly on both short and long timescales. The origin of the short period of Betelgeuse has often been as…

Exploring the ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-178b. Constraints on atmospheric chemistry and dynamics from a joint retrieval of VLT/CRIRES and space photometric data

D. Cont, L. Nortmann, F. Yan +14

Despite recent progress in the spectroscopic characterization of individual exoplanets, the atmospheres of key ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs) still lack comprehensive investigations. Th…

ANDES, the high resolution spectrograph for the ELT: science goals, project overview and future developments

A. Marconi, M. Abreu, V. Adibekyan +286

The first generation of ELT instruments includes an optical-infrared high-resolution spectrograph, indicated as ELT-HIRES and recently christened ANDES (ArmazoNes high Dispersion E…

Spectropolarimetric characterisation of exoplanet host stars in preparation of the Ariel mission. Magnetic environment of HD 63433

S. Bellotti, D. Evensberget, A. A. Vidotto +8

The accurate characterisation of the stellar magnetism of planetary host stars has been gaining momentum, especially in the context of transmission spectroscopy investigations of e…

A conclusive non-detection of magnetic field in the Am star o Peg with high-precision near-infrared spectroscopy

O. Kochukhov, A. M. Amarsi, A. Lavail +10

The A-type metallic-line (Am) stars are typically considered to be non-magnetic or possessing very weak sub-G magnetic fields. This view has been repeatedly challenged in the liter…

CRIRES transmission spectroscopy of WASP-127b. Detection of the resolved signatures of a supersonic equatorial jet and cool poles in a hot planet

L. Nortmann, F. Lesjak, F. Yan +14

General circulation models of gas giant exoplanets predict equatorial jets that drive inhomogeneities in the atmospheric physical parameters across the planetary surface. We studie…
