Study of atmospheres in the solar system, from stellar occultation or planetary transit
Comptes Rendus. Physique, 2022 Stellar occultations and transits occur when a planetary body passes in front of a star (including our Sun). For objects with an atmosphere, refraction plays an essential role to explain the drops of flux and the aureoles observed during these events ...

Atmospheric Escape Processes and Planetary Atmospheric Evolution [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2020 AbstractThe habitability of the surface of any planet is determined by a complex evolution of its interior, surface, and atmosphere. The electromagnetic and particle radiation of stars drive thermal, chemical, and physical alteration of planetary atmospheres, including escape.

A population study of gaseous exoplanets [PDF]
, 2018 We present here the analysis of 30 gaseous extrasolar planets, with temperatures between 600 and 2400 K and radii between 0.35 and 1.9 $R_\mathrm{Jup}$. The quality of the HST/WFC3 spatially scanned data combined with our specialized analysis tools allow

Joint Application of Concentration and δ18O to Investigate the Global Atmospheric CO Budget
Atmosphere, 2015 Most previous top-down global carbon monoxide (CO) budget estimates have used only concentration information and shown large differences in individual source estimates.

Nightside Ionospheric Structure and Composition on Mars Driven by Energetic Electron Precipitation
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Ionospheric chemistry plays an unexpectedly important role in the evolution of planetary habitability. This study is dedicated to a detailed modeling of the nightside Martian ionospheric structure and composition, a topic that has been poorly explored ...

The Hidden Depths of Planetary Atmospheres [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2018 Abstract Atmospheric regions below a refractive boundary are hidden in limb observations. Refraction thus creates a gray continuum in the planet’s transmission spectrum, which can hide spectral features associated with sources of atmospheric opacity.

The Inhomogeneity Effect. I. Inhomogeneous Surface and Atmosphere Accelerate Planetary Cooling
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We propose a general principle that under radiative-convective equilibrium, the spatial and temporal variations in a planet’s surface and atmosphere tend to increase its cooling.
