From thermal dissociation to condensation in the atmospheres of ultra hot Jupiters: WASP-121b in context [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2018 Context. A new class of exoplanets has emerged: the ultra hot Jupiters, the hottest close-in gas giants. The majority of them have weaker-than-expected spectral features in the 1.1−1.7 μm bandpass probed by HST/WFC3 but stronger spectral features at ...

Why is it So Hot in Here? Exploring Population Trends in Spitzer Thermal Emission Observations of Hot Jupiters Using Planet-specific, Self-consistent Atmospheric Models [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2021 Thermal emission has now been observed from dozens of exoplanet atmospheres, opening the gateway to population-level characterization. Here, we provide theoretical explanations for observed trends in Spitzer IRAC channel 1 (3.6 μm) and channel 2 (4.5 μm)

Extremely Irradiated Hot Jupiters: Non-oxide Inversions, H− Opacity, and Thermal Dissociation of Molecules [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2018 Extremely irradiated hot Jupiters, exoplanets reaching dayside temperatures >2000 K, stretch our understanding of planetary atmospheres and the models we use to interpret observations.

The Intrinsic Temperature and Radiative–Convective Boundary Depth in the Atmospheres of Hot Jupiters [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2019 In giant planet atmosphere modeling, the intrinsic temperature Tint and radiative–convective boundary (RCB) are important lower boundary conditions. Often in one-dimensional radiative–convective models and in three-dimensional general circulation models ...

Evidence of three mechanisms explaining the radius anomaly of hot Jupiters [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2020 Context. The anomalously large radii of hot Jupiters are still not fully understood, and all of the proposed explanations are based on the idea that these close-in giant planets possess hot interiors. Most of the mechanisms proposed have been tested on a

Transiting Exoplanet Monitoring Project (TEMP). VI. The Homogeneous Refinement of System Parameters for 39 Transiting Hot Jupiters with 127 New Light Curves [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2021 We present 127 new transit light curves for 39 hot Jupiter systems, obtained over the span of 5 yr by two ground-based telescopes. A homogeneous analysis of these newly collected light curves together with archived spectroscopic, photometric, and Doppler

Molecular cross-sections for high-resolution spectroscopy of super-Earths, warm Neptunes, and hot Jupiters [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020 High-resolution spectroscopy (HRS) has been used to detect a number of species in the atmospheres of hot Jupiters. Key to such detections is accurately and precisely modelled spectra for cross-correlation against the R ≳ 20 000 observations. There is a

Storms, Variability, and Multiple Equilibria on Hot Jupiters [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2021 Observations of hot-Jupiter atmospheres show large variations in the location of the “hot spot” and the amplitude of spectral features. Atmospheric flow simulations using the commonly employed forcing and initialization have generally produced a large ...
