Observations of Exoplanet Atmospheres [PDF]
Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2015 Detailed characterization of an extrasolar planet's atmosphere provides the best hope for distinguishing the makeup of its outer layers, and the only hope for understanding the interplay between initial composition, chemistry, dynamics & circulation, and

Spectra as windows into exoplanet atmospheres. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2014 Understanding a planet’s atmosphere is a necessary condition for understanding not only the planet itself, but also its formation, structure, evolution, and habitability. This requirement puts a premium on obtaining spectra and developing credible interpretative tools with which to retrieve vital planetary information.

Aerosols in Exoplanet Atmospheres [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2021 AbstractObservations of exoplanet atmospheres have shown that aerosols, like in the solar system, are common across a variety of temperatures and planet types. The formation and distribution of these aerosols are inextricably intertwined with the composition and thermal structure of the atmosphere.

Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2010 At the dawn of the first discovery of exoplanets orbiting Sun-like stars in the mid-1990s, few believed that observations of exoplanet atmospheres would ever be possible. After the 2002 Hubble Space Telescope detection of a transiting exoplanet atmosphere, many skeptics discounted it as a one-object, one-method success.

Illusion and Reality in the Atmospheres of Exoplanets [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2017 AbstractThe atmospheres of exoplanets reveal all their properties beyond mass, radius, and orbit. Based on bulk densities, we know that exoplanets larger than 1.5 Earth radii must have gaseous envelopes and, hence, atmospheres. We discuss contemporary techniques for characterization of exoplanetary atmospheres.

Identification of carbon dioxide in an exoplanet atmosphere [PDF]
Nature, 2022 AbstractCarbon dioxide (CO2) is a key chemical species that is found in a wide range of planetary atmospheres. In the context of exoplanets, CO2is an indicator of the metal enrichment (that is, elements heavier than helium, also called ‘metallicity’)1–3, and thus the formation processes of the primary atmospheres of hot gas giants4–6. It is also one of

Atmospheres of Rocky Exoplanets
Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2022 Rocky planets are common around other stars, but their atmospheric properties remain largely unconstrained. Thanks to a wealth of recent planet discoveries and upcoming advances in observing capability, we are poised to characterize the atmospheres of dozens of rocky exoplanets in this decade.
