Description
I will present new results obtained using the high-resolution ESPRESSO spectrograph by the GTO program for atmospheric characterization of exoplanets.
In particular, I will focus on the detection of atomic/molecular species and on their non-homogeneous distribution among the planetary surface.
The combination of the ESPRESSO performances with the VLT collecting area is opening a new window on exoplanetary atmospheres investigation.
