Detection of the hydrogen Balmer lines in the ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-33b

F. Yan et al.

Summary: This study reports four transit observations of the UHJ WASP-33b, detecting the H alpha, H beta, and H gamma lines in the planetary transmission spectrum, with strong H alpha absorption indicating probing of the high-altitude thermosphere. The fitting using the PAWN model yielded a thermosphere temperature and a mass-loss rate for the planetary atmosphere.

Time-resolved Rotational Velocities in the Upper Atmosphere of WASP-33 b

P. Wilson Cauley et al.

Summary: This study presents the first detection of Balmer lines H alpha and H beta in the atmosphere of the ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-33 b. By analyzing transmission spectra with high signal-to-noise ratio, the researchers were able to measure rotational and wind velocities, highlighting the importance of detailed 3D global climate simulations for understanding the upper atmospheres of ultra-hot gas giants. The results confirm the power of time-resolved transmission spectra in measuring velocity structures in exoplanet atmospheres.

Guangwei Fu et al.

Summary: The study focused on the atmospheric chemical and physical processes of ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-76b, observing TiO and H2O absorption as well as absorption by various heavy metals. The results indicate an inverted temperature pressure profile in the atmosphere of ultra-hot Jupiters, with TiO/VO and NUV heavy metals opacity being prominent sources of optical opacity in the stratosphere.
