Detection of escaping magnesium in the upper atmosphere of WASP-76b
Near-ultraviolet (NUV) observations can uniquely probe low-density, high-altitude gas in ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs) via strong resonance lines of metals. WASP-76b is a well-studied UHJ with prior detections of refractory metals and complex day-night chemistry,...
