DETECTION OF H2O AND EVIDENCE FOR TiO/VO IN AN ULTRA-HOT EXOPLANET ATMOSPHERE

DETECTION OF H2O AND EVIDENCE FOR TiO/VO IN AN ULTRA-HOT EXOPLANET ATMOSPHERE

We present a primary transit observation for the ultra-hot (T-eq similar to 2400 K) gas giant expolanet WASP-121b, made using the Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera 3 in spectroscopic mode across the 1.12-1.64 mu m wavelength range. The 1.4 mu m water absorption band is detected at high confid...
