Helium Atmospheres on Warm Neptune- and Sub-Neptune-Sized Exoplanets and Applications to GJ 436 b [PDF]
, 2015 Warm Neptune- and sub-Neptune-sized exoplanets in orbits smaller than Mercury's are thought to have experienced extensive atmospheric evolution. Here we propose that a potential outcome of this atmospheric evolution is the formation of helium-dominated ...

Atmospheric Dynamics of Hot Exoplanets [PDF]
Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2015 The characterization of exoplanetary atmospheres has come of age in the past decade, as astronomical techniques now allow for albedos, chemical abundances, temperature profiles and maps, rotation periods, and even wind speeds to be measured. Atmospheric dynamics sets the background state of density, temperature, and velocity that determines or ...

The Status of Spectroscopic Data for the Exoplanet Characterisation Missions [PDF]
, 2014 The status of laboratory spectroscopic data for exoplanet characterisation missions such as EChO is reviewed. For many molecules (eg H2O, CO, CO2, H3+, O2, O3) the data are already available.

The ARCiS framework for Exoplanet Atmospheres: The Cloud Transport Model [PDF]
, 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 ...

The Ultraviolet Radiation Environment Around M dwarf Exoplanet Host Stars [PDF]
, 2012 The spectral and temporal behavior of exoplanet host stars is a critical input to models of the chemistry and evolution of planetary atmospheres. At present, little observational or theoretical basis exists for understanding the ultraviolet spectra of M ...

A Catalog of Exoplanet Atmospheric Retrieval Codes
Research Notes of the AAS, 2023 Abstract Exoplanet atmospheric retrieval is a computational technique widely used to infer properties of planetary atmospheres from remote spectroscopic observations. Retrieval codes typically employ Bayesian sampling algorithms or machine learning approaches to explore the range of atmospheric properties (e.g., chemical composition ...
