Groundbased and spacecraft telescopic observations, combined with an intensive modeling
effort, have greatly enhanced our understanding of hot giant planets and brown dwarfs over …

Extremely irradiated hot Jupiters, exoplanets reaching dayside temperatures> 2000 K,
stretch our understanding of planetary atmospheres and the models we use to interpret …

The amount of ultraviolet irradiation and ablation experienced by a planet depends strongly
on the temperature of its host star. Of the thousands of extrasolar planets now known, only …

Common envelope evolution is a fundamental ingredient in our understanding of the
formation of close binary stars containing compact objects that include the progenitors of …

A planetary atmosphere is the outer gas layer of a planet. Besides its scientific significance
among the first and most accessible planetary layers observed from space, it is closely …

The Neptune-mass GJ 436b is one of the most studied transiting exoplanets with repeated
measurements of its thermal emission and transmission spectra. We build on previous …

The atmospheres of synchronously rotating exoplanets are intrinsically 3D, and fast vertical
and horizontal winds are expected to mix the atmosphere, driving the chemical composition …

Context. The detection and characterization of exoplanets and brown dwarfs around
massive AF-type stars is essential to investigate and constrain the impact of stellar mass on …

Studies of excess infrared radiation around white dwarfs provide important constraints on
the evolution of planetary systems and low-mass companions beyond the main-sequence …

White dwarf–brown dwarf short-period binaries (P orb≲ 2 h) are some of the most extreme
irradiated atmospheric environments known. These systems offer an opportunity to explore …
