Constraining planet formation based on the atmospheric composition of exoplanets is a
fundamental goal of the exoplanet community. Existing studies commonly try to constrain …

The ExoMol database (www. exomol. com) provides molecular data for spectroscopic
studies of hot atmospheres. These data are widely used to model atmospheres of …

The abundance of refractory elements in giant planets can provide key insights into their
formation histories. Owing to the low temperatures of the Solar System giants, refractory …

The temperature of an atmosphere decreases with increasing altitude, unless a shortwave
absorber that causes a temperature inversion exists. Ozone plays this role in the Earth's …

Population studies of exoplanets are key to unlocking their statistical properties. So far, the
inferred properties have been mostly limited to planetary, orbital, and stellar parameters …

Context. Ultra-hot Jupiters are excellent laboratories for the study of exoplanetary
atmospheres. WASP-121b is one of the most studied; many recent analyses of its …

Ground-based high-resolution spectroscopy (HRS) has detected numerous chemical
species and atmospheric dynamics in exoplanets, most notably ultrahot Jupiters (UHJs) …

Abstract Upcoming James Webb Space Telescope observations will allow us to study
exoplanet and brown dwarf atmospheres in great detail. The physical interpretation of these …

Ultrahot Jupiters are gas giants that orbit so close to their host star that they are tidally
locked, causing a permanent hot dayside and a cooler nightside. Signatures of their …

The temperature profile of a planetary atmosphere is a key diagnostic of radiative and
dynamical processes governing the absorption, redistribution and emission of energy …
