Abstract
Exoplanets with relatively clear atmospheres are prime targets for detailed
studies of chemical compositions and abundances in their atmospheres. Alkali
metals have long been suggested to exhibit broad wings due to pressure
broadening, but most of the alkali detections only show very narrow absorption
cores, probably because of the presence of clouds. We report the strong
detection of the pressure-broadened spectral profiles of Na, K, and Li
absorption in the atmosphere of the super-Neptune WASP-127b, at 4.1
