<p>Title: The Exoplanet Exposure Triangle: Optimising spectroscopic observations of transiting exoplanets’ atmospheres</p>
<p>Event: https://indico.fysik.su.se/e/linn-boldt-christmas</p>

</p>
<p>Abstract:</p>
<p>Transiting exoplanets provide opportunities for us to observe their atmospheres and to analyse them using spectroscopy. As the characterisation of exoplanetary atmospheres relies on the detection of spectrally resolved features, analysis can be improved
with high signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) that are possible to obtain today with modern spectrographs. However, obtaining high SNR through adjusting exposure times comes with a trade-off. A higher cadence of several, shorter exposures minimises the spectral feature
smearing that arises due to the continuously changing radial velocity of the planet; but a lower cadence of fewer, longer exposures collects more photons with reduced overheads and readout noise, enhancing the SNR of each observation. As such, there is a need
to establish what the optimal compromise is between the SNR and time resolution for a given target. In this talk, I will present the results of our search for this compromise using simulated VLT/CRIRES+ spectra and cross-correlation analysis, together with
our conclusions which form recommendations for observers that are planning studies of exoplanetary atmospheres using ground-based instrumentation.</p>
