  • In this paper we show analysis of HARPS transit dataset of KELT-10b, a hot Jupiter. This is the first time we observed projected obliquity for this planet, showing it to be aligned. We also characterize the transmission spectrum in region of sodium doublet lines and Balmer alpha line. For both of these, we do not significantly detect a signal. For sodium, this is in line with the detection by McCloat et al. 2021, as the HARPS sensitivity is lower than UVES and we do not reach such a precision. However, we are able to reject potential of this detection being due to RM+CLV (Rossiter-McLaughlin effect and Center-to-Limb Variations), as we simulated the effect, showing it is in fact muting the detection. This means, the expected signal might be stronger than what was observed. Balmer alpha line was never attempted beforehand, but we are able to reject extreme escape of excited hydrogen.
