High-resolution spectroscopy

Abstract:
High-resolution spectroscopy (HRS) allows resolving the spectrum of an exoplanetary atmosphere into individual lines and using the Doppler shift of the planet spectrum to disentangle it from other sources, such as telluric contamination and the host star spectrum. The method excels at identifying chemical species with numerous spectral lines and can be used for transmission, day/night-side emission, and reflected light spectroscopy. This chapter discusses the state of the art and important questions and goals for HRS, the opportunities it offers and the challenges it faces.
