Transiting Exoplanet Atmospheres in the Era of JWST [PDF]
arXivThe field of exoplanet atmospheric characterization has recently made considerable advances with the advent of high-resolution spectroscopy from large ground-based telescopes and the commissioning of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). We have entered an era in which atmospheric compositions, aerosol properties, thermal structures, mass loss, and ...

Exoplanet atmospheres: a brand-new and rapidly expanding research field [PDF]
arXiv, 2010 The field of exoplanets is quickly expanding from just the detection of new planets and the measurement of their most basic parameters, such as mass, radius and orbital configuration, to the first measurements of their atmospheric characteristics, such as temperature, chemical composition, albedo, dynamics and structure.

Signature of Vertical Mixing in Hydrogen-dominated Exoplanet Atmospheres
The Astrophysical JournalVertical mixing is a crucial disequilibrium process in exoplanet atmospheres, significantly impacting chemical abundance and observed spectra. While current state-of-the-art observations have detected its signatures, the effect of vertical mixing on ...

Controls of Atmospheric Methane on Early Earth and Inhabited Earth-like Terrestrial Exoplanets
The Astrophysical JournalMethane (CH _4 ) is a primarily biogenic greenhouse gas. As such, it represents an essential biosignature to search for life on exoplanets. Atmospheric CH _4 abundance on Earth-like inhabited exoplanets is likely controlled by marine biogenic production ...

Puffy Venuses: The Mass–Radius Impact of Carbon-rich Atmospheres on Lava Worlds
The Astrophysical JournalThe recent advancements in exoplanet observations enable the potential detection of exo-Venuses, rocky planets with carbon-rich atmospheres. How extended these atmospheres can be, given high carbon abundances, has not been studied.
