In this study, the optical emission spectrum of the hot giant planet MASCARA-1 b was detected through high-resolution spectroscopy. The presence of iron, chromium, and titanium elements in the planet's atmosphere was confirmed, which is significant for understanding the atmospheric characteristics of hot giant planets.
Context. Hot giant planets such as MASCARA-1 b are expected to have thermally inverted atmospheres, which makes them perfect laboratories for atmospheric characterization through high-resolution spectroscopy. Nonetheless, previous attempts at detecting the atmosphere of MASCARA-1 b in transmission have led to negative results.Aims. We aim to detect the optical emission spectrum of MASCARA-1 b.Methods. We used the high-resolution spectrograph PEPSI to observe MASCARA-1 (spectral type A8) near the secondary eclipse of the planet. We cross-correlated the spectra with synthetic templates computed for several atomic and molecular species.Results. We detect Fe I, Cr I, and Ti I in the atmosphere of MASCARA-1 b with a S/N approximate to 7, 4, and 5, respectively, and confirm the expected systemic velocity of approximate to 13 km s(-1) and the radial velocity semi-amplitude of MASCARA-1 b of approximate to 200 km s(-1). The detection of Ti is of particular importance in the context of the recently proposed phenomenon of Ti cold-trapping below a certain planetary equilibrium temperature.Conclusions. We confirm the presence of an atmosphere around MASCARA-1 b through emission spectroscopy. We conclude that the atmospheric non-detection in transmission spectroscopy is due to the strong gravity of the planet and/or to the overlap between the planetary track and its Doppler shadow.
