Exoplanetary science is on the verge of an unprecedented revolution. The thousands of
exoplanets discovered over the past decade have most recently been supplemented by …

We provide a brief review of many aspects of the planetary physics of hot Jupiters. Our aim is
to cover most of the major areas of current study while providing the reader with additional …

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

We present the easy-to-use, publicly available, Python package petitRADTRANS, built for
the spectral characterization of exoplanet atmospheres. The code is fast, accurate, and …

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 …

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 …

Context. The observation of planets in their formation stage is a crucial but very challenging
step in understanding when, how, and where planets form. PDS 70 is a young pre-main …

Observations of transiting gas giant exoplanets have revealed a pervasive depletion of
methane,,–, which has only recently been identified atmospherically,. The depletion is …

Context. Clouds are ubiquitous in exoplanet atmospheres and they represent a challenge
for the model interpretation of their spectra. When generating a large number of model …

The composition of a planet's atmosphere is determined by its formation, evolution, and
present-day insolation. A planet's spectrum therefore may hold clues on its origins. We …
