The GAPS Programme at TNG. XXXVIII. Five molecules in the atmosphere of the warm giant planet WASP-69b detected at high spectral resolution

Context. The field of exo-atmospheric characterisation is progressing at an extraordinary pace. Atmospheric observations are now available for tens of exoplanets, mainly hot and warm inflated gas giants, and new molecular species continue to be detected, revealing a richer atmospheric composition than previously expected. Thanks to its warm equilibrium temperature (963 +/- 18 K) and low density (0.219 +/- 0.031 g cm(-3)), the close-in gas giant WASP-69b represents a golden target for atmospheric characterisation.Aims. With the aim of searching for molecules in the atmosphere of WASP-69b and investigating its properties, we performed highresolution transmission spectroscopy with the GIANO-B near-infrared spectrograph at the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo.Methods. We observed three transit events of WASP-69b. During a transit, the planetary lines are Doppler-shifted due to the large change in the planet's radial velocity, allowing us to separate the planetary signal from the quasi-stationary telluric and stellar spectrum.Results. Considering the three nights together, we report the detection of CH4, NH3, CO, C2H2, and H2O, at more than a 3.3 sigma level. We did not identify the presence of HCN or CO2 with confidence a level higher than 3 sigma. This is the first time that five molecules have been simultaneously detected in the atmosphere of a warm giant planet. These results suggest that the atmosphere of WASP-69b is possibly carbon-rich and characterised by the presence of disequilibrium chemistry.
