[PEM11-03] Unlocking the Chemical Composition of Ultra Hot Jupiters: A NIR High-Resolution Emission Spectroscopy Study of WASP-33b

Using high-resolution spectroscopy, the atomic/molecular bands in the spectrum of an exoplanet are resolved into individual absorption lines. The variation of Doppler shifts caused by the planetary orbital motion enables absorption lines in the exoplanet spectrum to be distinguished from telluric lines. By combining thousands of unique absorption (or emission) lines, the atomic/molecular signatures can be identified unambiguously and detected at high significance. We performed high-resolution emission spectroscopy characterising the day-side of an ultra-hot Jupiter, WASP-33b, using the InfraRed Doppler instrument on the Subaru telescope. We confirmed our previous detection of OH emission at >9 sigma but only after the secondary eclipse. Through several tests, the non-detection of OH before the eclipse is likely due to astrophysical phenomena indicating that the spatial distribution of each chemical species is different and that we are probing the different parts of this 3D atmosphere. We also confirmed previous detection of Fe I, Si I, Ti I, and found evidence of the emission of Mg I and Mn I after combining all data sets, which, if confirmed, along with Ti I adds more chemical species that are detected on the day-side of an exoplanet.
