More than 460 exoplanets, i.e. planets orbiting a star different from our Sun, are now known thanks to indirect detection techniques. In recent years, attention has switched from finding planets to characterising them. Among the variety of exoplanets discovered so far, special attention is devoted to those planets which transit their parent star. Most recent observations with Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescopes, in fact, have proved being possible to use the wavelength/time dependence of the combined light star-planet to identify key chemical components and the thermal structure of the planet's atmosphere.
We present here new spectroscopic observations obtained with different ground-based telescopes of select targets, including hot-Jupiters and a warm Super-Earth.
