Thermal structure of an exoplanet atmosphere from phase-resolved emission spectroscopy
, 2017 Exoplanets that orbit close to their host stars are much more highly irradiated than their solar system counterparts. Understanding the thermal structures and appearances of these planets requires investigating how their atmospheres respond to such ...

General circulation modelling of close-in extrasolar giant planets
, 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

Exoplanet atmospheres at high spectral resolution
The spectrum of an exoplanet reveals the physical, chemical, and biological processes that have shaped its history and govern its future. However, observations of exoplanet spectra are complicated by the overwhelming glare of their host stars.

The Astrophysical JournalShort-period sub-Neptunes are common in extrasolar systems. These sub-Neptunes are generally thought to have primary atmospheres of protoplanetary-disk gas origin.

The need for laboratory work to aid in the understanding of exoplanetary atmospheres
, 2016 Advancements in our understanding of exoplanetary atmospheres, from massive gas giants down to rocky worlds, depend on the constructive challenges between observations and models.

The Astrophysical JournalThe amount of surface water is thought to be critical for a planet’s climate stability and thus habitability. However, the probability that a rocky planet may exhibit surface water at any point in its evolution is dependent on multiple factors, such as ...

Revealing Stellar Surface Structure Behind Transiting Exoplanets
, 2018 During exoplanet transits, successive stellar surface portions become hidden and differential spectroscopy between various transit phases provide spectra of small surface segments temporarily hidden behind the planet. Line profile changes across the stellar disk offer diagnostics for hydrodynamic modeling, while exoplanet analyses require stellar ...

Statistical Trends in JWST Transiting Exoplanet Atmospheres
Our brains are hardwired for pattern recognition as correlations are useful for predicting and understanding nature. As more exoplanet atmospheres are being characterized with JWST, we are starting to unveil their properties on a population level.

A global map of the atmospheric circulation and thermal structure for an ultrahot exoplanet
, 2017 WASP-121b is one of the standout exoplanets available for atmospheric characterization, both in transmission and emission, due to its large radius (1.8 Jupiter radii), high temperature ( 2700K), and bright host star (H=9.4mag).
