Search for spectral features in transiting planets with GAPS project
Abstract
The GAPS Project (Global Architecture of Planetary Systems) is the result of a concerted collaborative effort of a large fraction ofthe Italian community interested in exoplanets and of a few well known experts abroad.
The observational large program of GAPSis specifically designed to characterize the global architectural properties of exoplanetary systems, taking advantage of thecapabilities provided by HARPS-N spectrograph, mounted at the TNG (La Palma, Canary Island). GAPS is organized in subprograms,each focused on different aims. The spectra obtained for the Rossiter-McLaughlin (RML) and Asteroseismology(AST)/Star-Planet Interaction (SPI) subprograms provide useful data to search and analyse spectral features in the visible range,in order to characterize the atmospheres of planets in transit.- Publication:
