Exoplanet Atmospheres [PDF]

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.

Aerosols in Exoplanet Atmospheres [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2021
Observations 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.

Illusion and Reality in the Atmospheres of Exoplanets [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2017
The 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, hence atmospheres.

Chemical modeling of exoplanet atmospheres [PDF]

Experimental Astronomy, 2014
The past twenty years have revealed the diversity of planets that exist in the Universe. It turned out that most of exoplanets are different from the planets of our Solar System and thus, everything about them needs to be explored. Thanks to current observational technologies, we are able to determine some information about the atmospheric composition,

Aggregate Hazes in Exoplanet Atmospheres [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2019
Photochemical hazes have been frequently used to interpret exoplanet transmission spectra that show an upward slope towards shorter wavelengths and weak molecular features.

Atmospheric Retrieval of Exoplanets [PDF]

, 2018
Exoplanetary atmospheric retrieval refers to the inference of atmospheric properties of an exoplanet given an observed spectrum. The atmospheric properties include the chemical compositions, temperature profiles, clouds/hazes, and energy circulation. These properties, in turn, can provide key insights into the atmospheric physicochemical processes of ...

Radiative Transfer for Exoplanet Atmospheres [PDF]

, 2017
Remote sensing of the atmospheres of distant worlds motivates a firm understanding of radiative transfer. In this review, we provide a pedagogical cookbook that describes the principal ingredients needed to perform a radiative transfer calculation and ...

The Radiation Environment of Exoplanet Atmospheres [PDF]

Challenges, 2014
Exoplanets are born and evolve in the radiation and particle environment created by their host star. The host star’s optical and infrared radiation heats the exoplanet’s lower atmosphere and surface, while the ultraviolet, extreme ultraviolet and X ...

Exoplanet Atmosphere Measurements from Transmission Spectroscopy and other Planet-Star Combined Light Observations [PDF]

, 2018
It is possible to learn a great deal about exoplanet atmospheres even when we cannot spatially resolve the planets from their host stars. In this chapter, we overview the basic techniques used to characterize transiting exoplanets - transmission ...

Highlights in the Study of Exoplanet Atmospheres [PDF]

Nature, 513, pp. 345-352, 2014, 2014
Exoplanets are now being discovered in profusion. However, to understand their character requires spectral models and data. These elements of remote sensing can yield temperatures, compositions, and even weather patterns, but only if significant improvements in both the parameter retrieval process and measurements are achieved.
