A Multiple Scattering Polarized Radiative Transfer Model: Application to HD 189733b [PDF]
, 2015 We present a multiple scattering vector radiative transfer model which produces disk integrated, full phase polarized light curves for reflected light from an exoplanetary atmosphere.

The ARCiS framework for exoplanet atmospheres [PDF]
, 2020 Aims: ARCiS, a novel code for the analysis of exoplanet transmission and emission spectra is presented. The aim of the modelling framework is to provide a tool able to link observations to physical models of exoplanet atmospheres.

A library of self-consistent simulated exoplanet atmospheres [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020 We present a publicly available library of model atmospheres with radiative-convective equilibrium pressure–temperature (P-T) profiles fully consistent with equilibrium chemical abundances, and the corresponding emission and transmission spectrum with ...

High-resolution Transmission Spectroscopy of the Terrestrial Exoplanet GJ 486b
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 Terrestrial exoplanets orbiting M-dwarf stars are promising targets for transmission spectroscopy with existing or near-future instrumentation. The atmospheric composition of such rocky planets remains an open question, especially given the high X-ray ...

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 Influence of Galactic Cosmic Rays on Ion-Neutral Hydrocarbon Chemistry in the Upper Atmospheres of Free-Floating Exoplanets [PDF]
, 1989 Cosmic rays may be linked to the formation of volatiles necessary for prebiotic chemistry. We explore the effect of cosmic rays in a hydrogen-dominated atmosphere, as a proof-of-concept that ion-neutral chemistry may be important for modelling hydrogen ...
