Exoplanet Atmospheres [PDF]

open access: yesAnnual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2010
At the dawn of the first discovery of exoplanets orbiting Sun-like stars in the mid-1990s, few believed that observations of exoplanet atmospheres would ever be possible.

Thermal structure of an exoplanet atmosphere from phase-resolved emission spectroscopy [PDF]

open access: yesScience, 2014
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 ...

Characterising the internal structures of small exoplanets with CHEOPS

2022
<p>The successful Kepler and TESS missions have discovered thousands of exoplanets and let the community focus on the characterisation of these bodies. One area of research utilises ultra-high-precision photometric and spectroscopic follow-up observations in order to accurately constrain the bulk densities of terrestrial exoplanets ...

Exoplanet atmosphere. Thermal structure of an exoplanet atmosphere from phase-resolved emission spectroscopy.

Science (New York, N.Y.), 2014
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 extreme stellar forcing.

Linking the interior structure of terrestrial exoplanets to their (tidal) observables

Tidal effects probe the interior of celestial bodies and are an important source of information on their thermal state and the prevailing deformation mechanisms. In the case of exoplanets, estimation of quantities related to tides might add important constraints on the interior structure of those worlds that would complement the existing measurements ...

Impact of photochemical hazes on the thermal structure of exoplanet atmospheres

Transit observations reveal that a significant population of the detected exoplanets has hazy atmospheres (Sing et al. 2016). Although the relative contribution of clouds and photochemical aerosols is not yet fully clarified, the impact of haze particles on the thermal structure could be significant, as such particles can efficiently scatter and absorb

Internal structure and mineralogy of low-mass terrestrial exoplanets

Structure interne et minéralogie des exoplanètes terrestres de faible masse La modélisation d'intérieurs exoplanétaires fait le lien entre deux domaines : la détection et caractérisation d'exoplanètes, en plein essor avec le lancement de nouvelles missions telles que PLATO ou CHEOPS, et la géophysique, permettant l'étude des corps du ...
