Measuring precise radial velocities on individual spectral lines : II. Dependance of stellar activity signal on line depth

M. Cretignier, X. Dumusque, R. Allart +2

Context. Although the new generation of radial-velocity (RV) instruments such as ESPRESSO are expected to reach the long-term precision required to find other earths, the RV measur…

Wind of Change: retrieving exoplanet atmospheric winds from high-resolution spectroscopy

J. V. Seidel, D. Ehrenreich, L. Pino +5

Context. The atmosphere of exoplanets has been studied extensively in recent years, using numerical models to retrieve chemical composition, dynamical circulation or temperature fr…

Optical phase curve of the ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-121b

V. Bourrier, D. Kitzmann, T. Kuntzer +28

We present the analysis of TESS optical photometry of WASP-121b, which reveal the phase curve of this transiting ultra-hot Jupiter. Its hotspot is located at the substellar point,…

A spectral survey of an ultra-hot Jupiter: Detection of metals in the transmission spectrum of KELT-9 b

H. J. Hoeijmakers, D. Ehrenreich, D. Kitzmann +16

Context: KELT-9 b exemplifies a newly emerging class of short-period gaseous exoplanets that tend to orbit hot, early type stars - termed ultra-hot Jupiters. The severe stellar irr…

The CORALIE survey for southern extrasolar planets XVIII. Three new massive planets and two low mass brown dwarfs at separation larger than 5 AU

E. L. Rickman, D. Ségransan, M. Marmier +36

Context. Since 1998, a planet-search around main sequence stars within 50~pc in the southern hemisphere has been carried out with the CORALIE spectrograph at La Silla Observatory.…

Hot, rocky and warm, puffy super-Earths orbiting TOI-402 (HD 15337)

X. Dumusque, O. Turner, C. Dorn +30

TESS is revolutionising the search for planets orbiting bright and nearby stars. In sectors 3 and 4, TESS observed TOI-402 (TIC-120896927), a bright V=9.1 K1 dwarf also known as HD…

Hot Exoplanet Atmospheres Resolved with Transit Spectroscopy (HEARTS) - II. A broadened sodium feature on the ultra-hot giant WASP-76b

J. V. Seidel, D. Ehrenreich, A. Wyttenbach +18

High-resolution optical spectroscopy is a powerful tool to characterise exoplanetary atmospheres from the ground. The sodium D lines, with their large cross sections, are especiall…

High-resolution confirmation of an extended helium atmosphere around WASP-107b

R. Allart, V. Bourrier, C. Lovis +7

Probing the evaporation of exoplanet atmospheres is key to understanding the formation and evolution of exoplanetary systems. The main tracer of evaporation in the UV is the Lyman-…
