Detection of TiO and Na in the atmosphere of the hot Jupiter HAT-P-65b
We present the low-resolution transmission spectra of the puffy hot Jupiter HAT-P-65b (0.53 MJup, 1.89 RJup, Teq = 1930 K), based on two transits observed using...
Differences between the discs of active and non-active galaxies detected for the first time
