, 2014 More than a thousand exoplanets have been discovered over the last decade. Perhaps more excitingly, probing their atmospheres has become possible. We now have spectra of hot Jupiters like HD 189733b and HD 209458b, of Neptune-like planets like GJ1214b and even smaller planets are within reach.

Impact of varying redox states on crystallization and atmospheric composition of rocky exoplanets.
The magma ocean (MO) phase typically describes the early stage of rocky planets, during which the entire planet is molten due to heat generated by accretion processes. In the case of short-period exoplanets inside the runaway greenhouse limit, this phase may last Gyrs, until the inventory of major greenhouse gasses, such as H2O and H2, is exhausted ...

, 2017 For an assessment of the detectability of molecular concentrations from transit spectra of Earth-like exoplanets, occultation spectra observed by an operational Earth observation satellite mission have been modeled with a line-by-line infrared radiative transfer code.

The atmospheres of rocky exoplanets [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2022 Clouds are an integral part of planetary atmospheres, with most planets hosting clouds. Understanding not only the formation, but also the composition of clouds, is crucial to understand future observations. As observations of the planet’s surface will remain very difficult, it is essential to link the observable high atmosphere gas and cloud ...

Conclusive Evidence for a Population of Water Worlds around M Dwarfs Remains Elusive
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 The population of small, close-in exoplanets is bifurcated into super-Earths and sub-Neptunes. We calculate physically motivated mass–radius relations for sub-Neptunes, with rocky cores and H/He-dominated atmospheres, accounting for their thermal ...

The influence of bulk composition on the long-term interior-atmosphere evolution of terrestrial exoplanets [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2020 Aims.The secondary atmospheres of terrestrial planets form and evolve as a consequence of interaction with the interior over geological time. We aim to quantify the influence of planetary bulk composition on the interior–atmosphere evolution for Earth-sized terrestrial planets to aid in the interpretation of future observations of terrestrial exoplanet
