Total cross correlation signal from our best-fitting model (see Sect. 5.2) for the atmosphere of HD 179949 b, shown as a function of rest-frame velocity and planet projected orbital velocity. The model contains CO and H₂O with equal molecular abundance. The planet is detected with a S/N of 6.3, at a planet projected orbital velocity of K_P = (142.8 ± 3.4) km s^-1, which translates into a planet mass of M_P = (0.98 ± 0.04) M_Jup and an orbital inclination of (67.7 ± 4.3) degrees.
