Atmospheric circulation of exoplanets
地球与行星物理论评, 2023 To date, more than 5000 exoplanets and more than 2000 brown dwarfs have been confirmed, which shows rich diversities in many aspects. With the rapid growth of the planet family, both observational and theoretical research on exoplanet atmosphere is developing rapidly. This paper aims to review the progress of exoplanet atmospheric circulation research,

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Parameterizing radiative transfer in climate models means navigating trade‐offs between physical accuracy and conceptual clarity. However, currently available schemes sit at the extremes of this spectrum: correlated‐k schemes are fast and accurate but rely on lookup tables which obscure the underlying physics and make such schemes difficult to

, 2015 The atmospheres of exoplanets are commonly studied by observing the transit of the planet passing in front of its parent star. The obscuration of part of the stellar disk during a transit will reveal aspects of its surface structure resulting from ...

Characterizing Exoplanet Habitability
A habitable exoplanet is a world that can maintain stable liquid water on its surface. Techniques and approaches to characterizing such worlds are essential, as performing a census of Earth-like planets that may or may not have life will inform our ...

The MgI line: a new probe of the atmospheres of evaporating exoplanets
, 2014 Transit observations of HD209458b in the UV revealed signatures of neutral magnesium escaping the planet's upper atmosphere. The absorption detected in the MgI line provides unprecedented information on the physical conditions at the altitude where the ...

Exoplanet atmospheres with GIANO [PDF]
, 2018 Context\ud \ud High-resolution spectroscopy (R ≥ 20 000) at near-infrared wavelengths can be used to investigate the composition, structure, and circulation patterns of exoplanet atmospheres. However, up to now it has been the exclusive dominion of the biggest telescope facilities on the ground, due to the large amount of photons necessary to measure a

Statistical Trends in JWST Transiting Exoplanet Atmospheres
The Astrophysical JournalOur brains are hardwired for pattern recognition as correlations are useful for predicting and understanding nature. As more exoplanet atmospheres are being characterized with JWST, we are starting to unveil their properties on a population level.
