Chemical modeling of exoplanet atmospheres [PDF]

, 2014
International audienceThe past twenty years have revealed the diversity of planets that exist in the Universe. It turned out that most of exoplanets are different from the planets of our Solar System and thus, everything about them needs to be explored ...

Thermoelastic Contraction as a Suppressor of Atmospheric Escape in Close-in Exoplanets

The Astrophysical Journal
The survival of volatile-rich atmospheres on close-in exoplanets challenges classical escape models. We identify a fully classical, interior-driven correction: thermoelastic contraction of the planetary mantle slightly increases the gravitational binding

Transmission Spectroscopy of the Lowest-density Gas Giant: Metals and a Potential Extended Outflow in HAT-P-67b

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
Extremely low-density exoplanets are tantalizing targets for atmospheric characterization because of their promisingly large signals in transmission spectroscopy.

Mapping the Cloud-driven Atmospheric Dynamics and Chemistry of an Isolated Exoplanet Analog with Harmonic Signatures

The Astronomical Journal
Abstract Young planetary-mass objects and brown dwarfs near the L–T spectral transition exhibit enhanced spectrophotometric variability over field brown dwarfs. Patchy clouds, auroral processes, stratospheric hot spots, and complex carbon chemistry have all been proposed as potential sources of this variability ...

Interactions of Sublimated Frost With Volcanic Plumes: Modeling Io's SO2 Atmosphere Using the DSMC Method

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Io's tenuous atmosphere consists primarily of sulfur dioxide (SO2 ${\text{SO}}_{2}$) with observed column densities of approximately 1016−1017 $1{0}^{16}-1{0}^{17}$ cm−2 ${\text{cm}}^{-2}$. However, it remains uncertain whether the sublimation of SO2 ${\text{SO}}_{2}$ surface frost or volcanic outgassing is the primary source of the SO2 ...

Direct Evidence of Photochemistry in an Exoplanet Atmosphere

, 2022
Photochemistry is a fundamental process of planetary atmospheres that is integral to habitability, atmospheric composition and stability, and aerosol formation. However, no unambiguous photochemical products have been detected in exoplanet atmospheres to

Clouds and Hazes in GJ 1214 b’s Metal-rich Atmosphere

The Astronomical Journal
The sub-Neptune GJ 1214 b has an infamously flat transmission spectrum, likely due to thick aerosols in its atmosphere. A recent JWST/MIRI spectroscopic phase curve of GJ 1214 b added to this picture, suggesting a highly reflective and metal-rich ...

Weakening Tropical West Pacific Ascent Strength Reduces East Pacific Low Clouds via Lower Free‐Tropospheric Moisture Convergence

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Low clouds (LC) are the largest source of uncertainty in the climate response to increased CO2 ${\text{CO}}_{2}$ in global climate models. This is due to the multitude of factors that affect their behavior and how these are characterized across models.

On the Dual Nature of Atmospheric Escape

The Astrophysical Journal
Planetary atmospheres cannot remain hydrostatic at all altitudes because they approach finite density at infinite radius, implying infinite mass. Classical treatments address this in two directions: either retain a hydrostatic structure while allowing ...
