At the dawn of the first discovery of exoplanets orbiting Sun-like stars in the mid-1990s, few
believed that observations of exoplanet atmospheres would ever be possible. After the 2002 …

Characterizing the atmospheres of extrasolar planets is the new frontier in exoplanetary
science. The last two decades of exoplanet discoveries have revealed that exoplanets are …

Thousands of exoplanets have now been discovered with a huge range of masses, sizes
and orbits: from rocky Earth-like planets to large gas giants grazing the surface of their host …

We explore how well spectra from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will likely
constrain bulk atmospheric properties of transiting exoplanets. We start by modeling the …

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 …

The water abundance in a planetary atmosphere provides a key constraint on the planet's
primordial origins because water ice is expected to play an important role in the core …

For extrasolar planets discovered using the radial velocity method, the spectral
characterization of the host star leads to a mass estimate of the star and subsequently of the …

Until recently, infrared observations of exoplanetary atmospheres have typically been
interpreted using models that assumed solar elemental abundances. With the chemical …

ABSTRACT A new hot line list for the main isotopologue of CO2, 12C16O2 is presented. The
line list consists of almost 2.5 billion transitions between 3.5 million rotation-vibration states …

We have developed a one-dimensional photochemical and thermochemical kinetics and
diffusion model to study the effects of disequilibrium chemistry on the atmospheric …
