We report on Fe i in the dayside atmosphere of the ultra-hot-Jupiter WASP-33b, providing
evidence for a thermal inversion in the presence of an atomic species. We also introduce a …

No escaping helium from 55 Cnc e

M Zhang, HA Knutson, L Wang, F Dai… - The Astronomical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We search for escaping helium from the hot super-Earth 55 Cnc e by taking high-resolution
spectra of the 1083 nm line during two transits using Keck/NIRSPEC. We detect no helium …

CHEOPS precision phase curve of the Super-Earth 55 Cancri e

BM Morris, L Delrez, A Brandeker, AC Cameron… - Astronomy & …, 2021 - aanda.org
Context. 55 Cnc e is a transiting super-Earth (radius 1.88 R⊕ and mass 8 M⊕) orbiting a
G8V host star on a 17-h orbit. Spitzer observations of the planet's phase curve at 4.5 μm …

Dry or water world? How the water contents of inner sub-Neptunes constrain giant planet formation and the location of the water ice line

B Bitsch, SN Raymond, LA Buchhave… - Astronomy & …, 2021 - aanda.org
In the pebble accretion scenario, the pebbles that form planets drift inward from the outer
disk regions, carrying water ice with them. At the water ice line, the water ice on the inward …
