Abstract (from CDS):

We present Keck/KPIC Phase II K-band observations of the nontransiting hot Jupiter HD 143105 b. Using a cross-correlation approach, we make the first detection of the planetary atmosphere at ${K}_{{\rm{p}}}=18{5}_{-13}^{+11}$ km s–1 and an inferior conjunction time 2.5 hr before the previously published ephemeris. The retrieved Kp value, in combination with the orbital period, mass of the host star, and lack of transit detection, give an orbital inclination of $7{8}_{-12}^{\circ +2}$ and a true planet mass of 1.23 ± 0.10MJ. While the equilibrium temperature of HD 143105 b is in the transition regime between noninverted and inverted atmospheres, our analysis strongly prefers a noninverted atmosphere. Retrieval analysis indicates the atmosphere of HD 143105 b is cloud free to approximately 1 bar and dominated by H2O absorption (${\mathrm{logH}}_{2}{{\rm{O}}}_{\mathrm{MMR}}=-3.{9}_{-0.5}^{+0.8}$), placing only an upper limit on the CO abundance (${\mathrm{logCO}}_{\mathrm{MMR}}\lt -3.7$ at 95% confidence). We place no constraints on the abundances of Fe, Mg, or 13CO. From these abundances, we place an upper limit on the carbon-to-oxygen ratio for HD 143105 b, C/O < 0.2 at 95% confidence, and find the atmospheric metallicity is approximately 0.1 × solar. The low metallicity may be responsible for the lack of a thermal inversion, which at the temperature of HD 143105 b would likely require significant opacity from TiO and/or VO. With these results, HD 143105 b joins the small number of nontransiting hot Jupiters with detected atmospheres.
