      Only a few hot Jupiters are known to orbit around fast rotating stars. These exoplanets are harder to detect and characterize and may be less common than around slow rotators. Here, we report the discovery of the transiting ...
    • Jupiter as an exoplanet: UV to NIR transmission spectrum reveals hazes, a Na layer, and possibly stratospheric H2O-ice clouds 

      Montañés-Ridríguez, Pilar; González-Merino, B.; Pallé, Enric; López-Puertas, Manuel; García Melendo, Enrique José (Institute of Physics (IOP), 2015-02-26)
      Article
      Accés obert
      Currently, the analysis of transmission spectra is the most successful technique to probe the chemical composition of exoplanet atmospheres. However, the accuracy of these measurements is constrained by observational ...
