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.

Nonthermal Atmospheric Escape on the Kepler-11 “Super-Earths” Driven by Stellar Wind Sputtering
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Jeans escape or hydrodynamic escape is believed to dominate atmospheric loss for hot Jupiters. However, nonthermal mechanisms likely contribute substantially on hydrogen-rich “super-Earths” with relatively cold and extended atmospheres.

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.

Exoplanet Atmospheres and Photochemistry [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2005 Over 150 extrasolar planets are known to orbit sun-like stars. A growing number of them (9 to date) are transiting “hot Jupiters” whose physical characteristics can be measured. Atmospheres of two of these planets have already been detected. We summarize the atmosphere detections and useful upper limits, focusing on the MOST albedo upper limit and II ...
