Haze Evolution in Temperate Exoplanet Atmospheres: the Laboratory Perspective
, 2022 With thousands of confirmed detections of exoplanets, recent efforts are focusing on characterizing their atmospheres through transmission spectroscopy. However, opacity sources such as condensation clouds and photochemical hazes have been found to be common in exoplanet atmospheres, muting spectroscopic features of atmospheric species.

Exoplanet atmosphere evolution: emulation with random forests.
CoRR, 2021 ABSTRACT Atmospheric mass-loss is known to play a leading role in sculpting the demographics of small, close-in exoplanets. Knowledge of how such planets evolve allows one to ‘rewind the clock’ to infer the conditions in which they formed.

The Evolution of Atmospheric Escape of Highly Irradiated Gassy Exoplanets
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2021 AbstractAtmospheric escape has traditionally been observed using hydrogen Lyman-α transits, but more recent detections utilise the metastable helium triplet lines at 1083nm. Capable of being observed from the ground, this helium signature offers new possibilities for studying atmospheric escape.

General circulation modelling of close-in extrasolar giant planets [PDF]
, 2011 PhDA large fraction of the extrasolar planets detected so far are giant planets that have such short orbital periods (a few days) that they are thought to be tidally-synchronised with the host star. Such orbits lead to permanent day/night sides on the

Stellar rotation and its connection to the evolution of hydrogen‐dominated atmospheres of exoplanets [PDF]
Astronomische Nachrichten, 2021 AbstractThe population of known low‐ to intermediate‐mass exoplanets shows a large spread in densities, which is believed to be due to the diversity of planetary atmospheres and thus controlled by planetary atmospheric mass loss. One of the main drivers of long‐term atmospheric escape is the absorption of high‐energy X‐ray + extreme ultraviolet (XUV ...

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

The Possible Evolution of an Exoplanet’s Atmosphere
Eos, 2021 Scientific sleuths explore data gathered trillions of kilometers away and put forth different, and often conflicting, ideas to reconstruct the gaseous envelope on a distant rocky exoplanet, GJ 1132 b.

Using dimers to measure biosignatures and atmospheric pressure for terrestrial exoplanets [PDF]
, 2014 We present a new method to probe atmospheric pressure on Earth-like planets using (O-O) dimers in the near-infrared. We also show that dimer features could be the most readily detectable biosignatures for Earth-like atmospheres and may even be detectable
