Emergent Exoplanet Flux: Review of the Spitzer Results [PDF]
, 2008 Observations using the Spitzer Space Telescope provided the first detections of photons from extrasolar planets. Spitzer observations are allowing us to infer the temperature structure, composition, and dynamics of exoplanet atmospheres.

The Inhomogeneity Effect. III. Weather Impacts on the Heat Flow of Hot Jupiters
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The interior flux of a giant planet impacts atmospheric motion, and the atmosphere dictates the interior’s cooling. Here we use a non-hydrostatic general circulation model (Simulating Non-hydrostatic Atmospheres on Planets) coupled with a multi-stream ...

The influence of coronal mass ejections on the gas dynamics of the atmosphere of a “hot Jupiter” exoplanet [PDF]
Astronomy Reports, 2016 The results of three-dimensional numerical simulations of the gas dynamics of the atmosphere of a "hot Jupiter" exoplanet during the passage of a coronal mass ejection (CME) from the central star are presented. These computations assumed the parameters for the stellar wind and the CME to be typical of the solar values.

Exoplanet winds: Modelling atmospheric dynamics via resolved spectral lines
, 2021 This thesis benchmarked a new probe of atmospheric dynamics in exoplanet atmospheres by resolving the spectral lines stemming from these far atmospheres and then modelling their line shape taking into account the broadening from atmospheric winds. This gives us a window into atmospheric winds for these far away worlds only limited by the depths of the ...

Evolutionary and functional relationships between plant and microbial C<sub>1</sub> metabolism in terrestrial ecosystems. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary One‐carbon (C1) metabolism, centered on the universal methyl donor S‐adenosyl methionine (SAM), plays critical roles in biosynthesis, redox regulation, and stress responses across plants and microbes. A recently proposed photosynthetic C1 pathway links SAM methyl groups directly to RuBisCO‐mediated CO2 assimilation and integrates with nitrogen ...

Earth’s polar night boundary layer as an analogue for dark side inversions on synchronously rotating terrestrial exoplanets [PDF]
, 2020 A key factor in determining the potential habitability of synchronously rotating planets is the strength of the atmospheric boundary layer inversion between the dark side surface and the free atmosphere.

The Variable Detection of Atmospheric Escape around the Young, Hot Neptune AU Mic b
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 Photoevaporation is a potential explanation for several features within exoplanet demographics. Atmospheric escape observed in young Neptune-sized exoplanets can provide insight into and characterize which mechanisms drive this evolution and at what ...

Dynamic mineral clouds on HD 189733b [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2017 Context. As the 3D spatial properties of exoplanet atmospheres are being observed in increasing detail by current and new generations of telescopes, the modelling of the 3D scattering effects of cloud forming atmospheres with inhomogeneous opacity structures becomes increasingly important to interpret observational data. Aims.
