Infrared Observations of Exoplanet Atmospheres [PDF]

, 2012
The study of extrasolar planet atmospheres elucidates the formation and migration history of planets and places the origin and evolution of Earth and the Solar System in a broader context.

Dynamic mineral clouds on HD 189733b. II. Monte Carlo radiative transfer for 3D cloudy exoplanet atmospheres : combining scattering and emission spectra

, 2017
G.L. and Ch.H. highlight the financial support of the European community under the FP7 ERC starting grant 257431.Context. As the 3D spatial properties of exoplanet atmospheres are being observed in increasing detail by current and new generations of ...

Overcast Mornings and Clear Evenings in Hot Jupiter Exoplanet Atmospheres

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Aerosols are an old topic in the young field of exoplanet atmospheres. Understanding what they are, how they form, and where they go has long provided a fertile playground for theorists.

Limited Hysteresis in the Atmospheric Dynamics of Hot Jupiters

The Astrophysical Journal
Over the past two decades, a coherent picture has emerged of the atmospheric dynamics of hot Jupiters from a combination of three-dimensional general circulation models and astronomical observations.

Minimizing Star-spot Contamination of Exoplanet Transit Spectroscopy Using Alternate Normalization

The Astronomical Journal
Recently, M. H. Currie et al. (2023) simulated the detection of molecules in the atmospheres of temperate rocky exoplanets transiting nearby M-dwarf stars.

Modeling Clouds in Brown Dwarf and Exoplanet Giant Planet Atmospheres

, 2018
Clouds and hazes are commonplace in the atmospheres of solar system planets and are likely ubiquitous in the atmospheres of extrasolar planets as well. Clouds affect every aspect of a planetary atmosphere, from the transport of radiation, to atmospheric ...

Comparing Results from Two Uniform Phase-curve Surveys

The Astronomical Journal
We present a comparison of the two most recent and comprehensive Spitzer phase curve studies—L. Dang et al. and M. R. Swain et al.—which report analyses of the Spitzer 4.5 μ m phase curves.

Observations of exoplanet atmospheres [PDF]

In the past decade the field of extra-solar planetary science has moved beyond simple detections of planets outside of our Solar System into more detailed characterisations of these objects. One avenue that is at the forefront of current research is the study of extra-solar planet atmospheres.

General circulation modelling of close-in extrasolar giant planets

, 2011
PhDA large fraction of the extrasolar planets detected so far are giant planets that have such short orbital periods (a few days) that they are thought to be tidally-synchronised with the host star. Such orbits lead to permanent day/night sides on the
