Abstract:Abstract. In response to the large number of exoplanet detections, the characterization of these planets has become a major focus of exoplanet science. Transiting planets are of particular interest as they allow us to investigate the transmission of their atmospheres. Our group uses ground-based facilities like the ESO/VLT to probe the atmosphere of hot Jupiters with the technique of spectrophotometry. In our preliminary results for the hot Jupiters WASP-17b and WASP-31b we find the reachable precision to be l… Show more
