"Turner and collaborators explore the extreme conditions in KELT-9b’s atmosphere with high-resolution transmission spectra taken with the
@CARMENES_exopl instrument on the Calar Alto 3.5-m telescope in Spain." https://aasnova.org/2020/04/03/peering-into-the-atmosphere-of-the-hottest-planet-known/ …@Cornell@CSInst#Exoplanets 3/7Näytä tämä ketju -
"The authors find absorption lines indicating the presence of ionized calcium, Ca II, in KELT-9b’s atmospheric spectra; this is just the second time that Ca II has been observed in a hot Jupiter’s atmosphere. They also find prominent Hα absorption." https://aasnova.org/2020/04/03/peering-into-the-atmosphere-of-the-hottest-planet-known/ … 4/7

"Together, these absorption lines act as atmospheric thermometers, providing a picture of KELT-9b’s atmospheric temperature profile and yielding insight into the energy that enters and leaves the planet’s atmosphere." https://aasnova.org/2020/04/03/peering-into-the-atmosphere-of-the-hottest-planet-known/ …

"These results demonstrate the power of this technique, revealing the remarkable wealth of information we can glean from some distant starlight filtered through the atmosphere of an extreme world." https://aasnova.org/2020/04/03/peering-into-the-atmosphere-of-the-hottest-planet-known/ …
