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…
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…
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…
Finding extraterrestrial life using ground-based high-resolution spectroscopy
Ignas Snellen, Remco de Kok, Rudolf Le Poole +2
Exoplanet observations promise one day to unveil the presence of extraterrestrial life. Atmospheric compounds in strong chemical disequilibrium would point to large-scale biologica…
