| Popis: | We carried out the first high-resolution transit observations of the exoplanet WASP-49 Ab with Keck/HIRES. Upon custom wavelength calibration we achieve a Doppler RV precision of < 60 m s−1. . This is an improvement in RV stability of roughly 240 m s−1 with respect to the instrument standard. We report an average sodium flux residual of (Formula presented) per cent t (8.0σ) comparable to previous studies. Interestingly, an average Doppler shift of −6.2 ± 0.5 km s−1 (12.4 σ) is identified offset from the exoplanet rest frame. The velocity residuals in time trace a blueshift (Formula presented) to redshift (Formula presented) suggesting the origin of the observed sodium is unlikely from the atmosphere of the planet. The average Na light curves indicate a depth of (Formula presented) per cent(11.7 σ) enduring ≲90 min with a half-max duration of $/sim$ 40.1 min. Frequent high-resolution spectroscopic observations will be able to characterize the periodicity of the observed Doppler shifts. Considering the origin of the transient sodium gas is of unknown geometry, a co-orbiting natural satellite may be a likely source. |
