Discovery of water at high spectral resolution in the atmosphere of 51 Peg b
We report the detection of water absorption features in the day side spectrum of the first-known hot Jupiter, 51 Peg b, confirming the star–planet system to be a double-lined spectroscopic binary. We use high-resolution ($R\approx $ 100,000), $3.2\,\mu {\rm{m}}$ spectra taken with CRIRES/VLT to trac...
