Scientific paper

We report observations of the extrasolar planet HD 209458b, which were obtained as part of a search for excited water bands from the planet. Transit spectroscopy was performed on 2002 Aug 19 and 26 and Sep 2 using the NASA IRTF with SpeX instrument. Cross-dispersed spectra in the near-infrared were reduced, optimally extracted and analyzed. We will present the data, sensitivity tests and discuss implications for atmospheric modeling of HD 209458b.
This work was supported by NSF grant AST-0820311.
