The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Photochemical hazes are expected to form in hot Jupiter atmospheres and may explain the strong scattering slopes and muted spectral features observed in the transmission spectra of many hot Jupiters.

Rocky Planet or Water World? Observability of Low-density Lava World Atmospheres
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Super-Earths span a wide range of bulk densities, indicating a diversity in interior conditions beyond that seen in the solar system. In particular, an emerging population of low-density super-Earths may be explained by volatile-rich interiors.

Exoplanet albedo spectra and colors as a function of planet phase, separation, and metallicity [PDF]
, 2010 First generation optical coronagraphic telescopes will obtain images of cool gas and ice giant exoplanets around nearby stars. The albedo spectra of exoplanets at planet-star separations larger than about 1 AU are dominated by reflected light to beyond 1

A Radiative-convective Model for Terrestrial Planets with Self-consistent Patchy Clouds
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Clouds are ubiquitous: they arise for every solar system planet that possesses an atmosphere and have also been suggested as a leading mechanism for obscuring spectral features in exoplanet observations.

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 In order to understand the results of recent observations of exoplanets, models have become increasingly complex. Unfortunately, this increases both the computational cost and output size of said models.

The ARCiS framework for Exoplanet Atmospheres: The Cloud Transport Model [PDF]
, 2019 Understanding of clouds is instrumental in interpreting current and future spectroscopic observations of exoplanets. Modelling clouds consistently is complex, since it involves many facets of chemistry, nucleation theory, condensation physics ...

THE INFLUENCE OF THE EXTREME ULTRAVIOLET SPECTRAL ENERGY DISTRIBUTION ON THE STRUCTURE AND COMPOSITION OF THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE OF EXOPLANETS [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2016 ABSTRACT By varying the profiles of stellar extreme ultraviolet (EUV) spectral energy distributions (SEDs), we tested the influences of stellar EUV SEDs on the physical and chemical properties of an escaping atmosphere. We apply our model to study four exoplanets: HD 189733b, HD 209458b, GJ 436b, and Kepler-11b.

ATMOSPHERE EXPANSION AND MASS LOSS OF CLOSE-ORBIT GIANT EXOPLANETS HEATED BY STELLAR XUV. II. EFFECTS OF PLANETARY MAGNETIC FIELD; STRUCTURING OF INNER MAGNETOSPHERE [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2015 This is the second paper in a series where we build a self-consistent model to simulate the mass-loss process of a close-orbit magnetized giant exoplanet, so-called hot Jupiter (HJ). In this paper we generalize the hydrodynamic (HD) model of an HJ expanding hydrogen atmosphere, proposed in the first paper, to include the effects of intrinsic planetary ...

Theoretical Spectra of Terrestrial Exoplanet Surfaces [PDF]
, 2012 We investigate spectra of airless rocky exoplanets with a theoretical framework that self-consistently treats reflection and thermal emission. We find that a silicate surface on an exoplanet is spectroscopically detectable via prominent Si-O features in ...
