Molecular mapping is a supervised method exploiting the spectral diversity of integral field spectrographs to detect and characterise resolved exoplanets blurred into the stellar halo. We present an update to the method, aimed at removing the stellar halo and the nuisance of telluric features in the datacubes and accessing a...
Context. For decades, the spectral variations of β Pictoris have been modelled as the result of the evaporation of exocomets close to the star, termed falling evaporating bodies (FEBs). Resonant perturbations by a hypothetical giant planet have been proposed to explain the dynamical origin of these stargrazers. The disk is now known to harbour...
Context. With a new generation of observational instruments largely dedicated to exoplanets (i.e. JWST, ELTs, PLATO, and Ariel) providing atmospheric spectra and mass and radius measurements for large exoplanet populations, the planetary models used to understand the findings are being put to the test.Aims. We seek to develop a new planetary...
