Identifying new opportunities for exoplanet characterisation at high spectral resolution
Remco J. de Kok, Jayne Birkby, Matteo Brogi +4
[Abridged] Recently, there have been a series of detections of molecules in the atmospheres of extrasolar planets using high spectral resolution (R~100,000) observations, mostly us…
Detection of water absorption in the day side atmosphere of HD 189733 b using ground-based high-resolution spectroscopy at 3.2 microns
J. L. Birkby, R. J. de Kok, M. Brogi +4
We report a 4.8 sigma detection of water absorption features in the day side spectrum of the hot Jupiter HD 189733 b. We used high-resolution (R~100,000) spectra taken at 3.2 micro…
Quick-MESS: A fast statistical tool for Exoplanet Imaging Surveys
Mariangela Bonavita, Ernst J. W. de Mooij, Ray Jayawardhana
Several tools have been developed in the past few years for the statistical analysis of the exoplanet search surveys, mostly using a combination of Monte-Carlo simulations or a Bay…
Search for Rayleigh scattering in the atmosphere of GJ1214b
Ernst J. W. de Mooij, Matteo Brogi, Remco J. de Kok +8
We investigate the atmosphere of GJ1214b, a transiting super-Earth planet with a low mean density, by measuring its transit depth as a function of wavelength in the blue optical po…
Optical Phase Curves of Kepler Exoplanets
Lisa J. Esteves, Ernst J. W. De Mooij, Ray Jayawardhana
We have conducted a comprehensive search for optical phase variations of all planet candidates with tight orbits in fifteen quarters of data from the Kepler space telescope. After…
Detection of carbon monoxide in the high-resolution day-side spectrum of the exoplanet HD 189733b
Remco J. de Kok, Matteo Brogi, Ignas A. G. Snellen +3
[Abridged] After many attempts over more than a decade, high-resolution spectroscopy has recently delivered its first detections of molecular absorption in exoplanet atmospheres, b…
