Understanding exoplanet formation, structure and evolution in 2010 [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2010 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.

The Importance of Optical Wavelength Data on Atmospheric Retrievals of Exoplanet Transmission Spectra [PDF]
The Astronomical JournalExoplanet transmission spectra provide rich information about the chemical composition, clouds, and temperature structure of exoplanet atmospheres. Most exoplanet transmission spectra only span infrared wavelengths (≳1 μ m), which can preclude crucial ...
