The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 A major motivation of spectroscopic observations of giant exoplanets is to unveil planet formation processes from atmospheric compositions. Several recent studies suggested that atmospheric nitrogen, like carbon and oxygen, can provide important ...

Spectral Evolution of an Earth-Like Planet [PDF]
, 2006 We have developed a characterization of the geological evolution of the Earths atmosphere and surface in order to model the observable spectra of an Earth-like planet through its geological history.

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 ...

A Multiple Scattering Polarized Radiative Transfer Model: Application to HD 189733b [PDF]
, 2015 We present a multiple scattering vector radiative transfer model which produces disk integrated, full phase polarized light curves for reflected light from an exoplanetary atmosphere.

Towards a Theory for the Atmospheres, Structure, and Evolution of Giant Exoplanets [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2011 AbstractIn this short review, I summarize some of the salient features of the emerging theory of exoplanets in general, and of giant exoplanets in particular. A focus is on the characterization of transiting planets at primary and secondary eclipse, but various other related topics are covered, if only briefly.

Colorado Ultraviolet Transit Experiment Data Simulator [PDF]
, 2019 The Colorado Ultraviolet Transit Experiment (CUTE) is a 6U NASA CubeSat carrying on-board a low-resolution (R~2000--3000), near-ultraviolet (2500--3300 {\AA}) spectrograph. It has a rectangular primary Cassegrain telescope to maximize the collecting area.

Vertical structure of an exoplanet’s atmospheric jet stream
NatureUltra-hot Jupiters, an extreme class of planets not found in our solar system, provide a unique window into atmospheric processes. The extreme temperature contrasts between their day- and night-sides pose a fundamental climate puzzle: how is energy distributed?

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Atmospheric nitrogen may provide important constraints on giant planet formation. Following our semianalytical work, we further pursue the relation between observable NH _3 and an atmosphere’s bulk nitrogen abundance by applying the photochemical ...

Gliese 581g as a scaled-up version of Earth: atmospheric circulation simulations
, 2011 We use three-dimensional simulations to study the atmospheric circulation on the first Earth-sized exoplanet discovered in the habitable zone of an M star.
