The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Photochemical hazes are expected to form in hot Jupiter atmospheres and may explain the strong scattering slopes and muted spectral features observed in the transmission spectra of many hot Jupiters.

A Stellar Mass Dependence of Structured Disks: A Possible Link with Exoplanet Demographics [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2021 Abstract Gaps in protoplanetary disks have long been hailed as signposts of planet formation. However, a direct link between exoplanets and disks remains hard to identify. We present a large sample study of ALMA disk surveys of nearby star-forming regions to disentangle this connection.

Individual and Statistical Characterization of the Giant Exoplanet Population [PDF]
, 2021 The field of observational exoplanet astronomy has seen tremendous progress over the span of only a few decades. Now, we find ourselves at the dawn of a new era: the characterization of distant worlds.

TEMPERATURE STRUCTURE AND ATMOSPHERIC CIRCULATION OF DRY TIDALLY LOCKED ROCKY EXOPLANETS [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2016 ABSTRACT Next-generation space telescopes will observe the atmospheres of rocky planets orbiting nearby M-dwarfs. Understanding these observations will require well-developed theory in addition to numerical simulations. Here we present theoretical models for the temperature structure and atmospheric circulation of dry, tidally locked ...

Spectra as windows into exoplanet atmospheres [PDF]
, 2014 Understanding a planet’s atmosphere is a necessary condition for understanding not only the planet itself, but also its formation, structure, evolution, and habitability.

Phase-curve Pollution of Exoplanet Transmission Spectra [PDF]
, 2021 The occurrence of a planet transiting in front of its host star offers the opportunity to observe the planet's atmosphere filtering starlight. The fraction of occulted stellar flux is roughly proportional to the optically thick area of the planet, the ...

The Radius Cliff is a Waterfall: Explaining Sub-Neptune Exoplanets with Steam Worlds
The Astrophysical JournalThe demographics of Kepler planets provide a key testbed for models of planet formation and evolution, particularly for explaining the radius valley separating super-Earths and sub-Neptunes.

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?

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.Chip‐based frequency combs are usually pumped from telecom wavelengths, far from the visible. This work instead pumps close to the visible with a Ti:sapphire laser ‐ the source behind the original optical frequency combs and now becoming chip‐integrable‐ and lets silicon‐nitride waveguides convert it into efficient, octave‐spanning visible‐to‐infrared ...

The Astrophysical JournalAtmospheric compositions of sub-Neptunes and super-Earths are often interpreted as tracers of formation location relative to volatile ice lines. However, prolonged magma oceans can chemically equilibrate with primordial atmospheres and modify accreted ...
