Sulfur-driven haze formation in warm CO2-rich exoplanet atmospheres [PDF]
Sulfur gases significantly affect the photochemistry of planetary atmospheres in our Solar System, and are expected to be important components in exoplanet atmospheres. However, sulfur photochemistry in the context of exoplanets is poorly understood due to a lack of chemical-kinetics information for sulfur species under relevant conditions.

Understanding exoplanet formation, structure and evolution in 2010 [PDF]
AbstractIn this short review, we summarize our present understanding (and non-understanding) of exoplanet formation, structure and evolution, in the light of the most recent discoveries. Recent observations of transiting massive brown dwarfs seem to remarkably confirm the predicted theoretical mass-radius relationship in this domain.

A Search for wide visual companions of exoplanet host stars - The Calar Alto Survey [PDF]
We have carried out a search for co-moving stellar and substellar companions around 18 exoplanet host stars with the infrared camera MAGIC at the 2.2m Calar Alto telescope, by comparing our images with images from the all sky surveys 2MASS, POSS I and II.

HD3651B: the first directly imaged brown dwarf companion of an exoplanet host star [PDF]
In the course of our ongoing multiplicity study of exoplanet host stars we detected a faint companion located at ~43arcsec (480AU physical projected separation) north-west of its primary -- the exoplanet host star HD3651 at 11pc.

Haze Formation in Warm H2-rich Exoplanet Atmospheres
Abstract New observing capabilities coming online over the next few years will provide opportunities for characterization of exoplanet atmospheres. However, clouds/hazes could be present in the atmospheres of many exoplanets, muting the amplitude of spectral features.
