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

The ARCiS framework for Exoplanet Atmospheres: The Cloud Transport Model [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2019 Understanding of clouds is instrumental in interpreting current and future spectroscopic observations of exoplanets. Modelling clouds consistently is complex, since it involves many facets of chemistry, nucleation theory, condensation physics ...

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.

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.

Exoplanet atmospheres: A theoretical outlook [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2010 AbstractWith over two dozen exoplanet atmospheres observed today, the field of exoplanet atmospheres is solidly established. The highlights of exoplanet atmosphere studies include: detection of molecular spectral features; constraints on atmospheric vertical temperature structure; detection of day-night temperature gradients; and a new numerical ...

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.

Atmospheres of rocky exoplanets
Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2022 The increasing number of known rocky exoplanets motivates investigations of the diversity of atmospheric and surface composition of these planets. We investigate the link between the composition of the surface, near-crust atmosphere and the lower atmosphere, including the presence of different cloud condensates.

The Runaway Greenhouse on Sub-Neptune Waterworlds
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The implications of the water vapor runaway greenhouse phenomenon for water-rich sub-Neptunes are developed. In particular, the nature of the postrunaway equilibration process for planets that have an extremely high water inventory is addressed. Crossing

Hα Absorption in Transiting Exoplanet Atmospheres [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2013 AbstractRecent observations by Jensen et al. of Hα absorption by the upper atmosphere of HD189733b have motivated the need for a theoretical understanding of the distribution of n=2 hydrogen within hot Jupiter atmospheres. With this in mind, we model the n=2 state of atomic hydrogen in a hydrostatic atmosphere in thermal and photoionization equilibrium.
