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 …

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

Hot Jupiters have been predicted to have a strong day/night temperature contrast and a
hotspot shifted eastward of the substellar point. This was confirmed by numerous phase …

Recent observations of ultra-hot Jupiters with dayside temperatures in excess of 2500 K
have found evidence for new physical processes at play in their atmospheres. In this work …

The atmospheric temperatures of the ultra-hot Jupiter KELT-9b straddle the transition
between gas giants and stars, and therefore between two traditionally distinct regimes of …

The atmospheres of ultra-hot Jupiters have been characterized in detail through recent
phase curve and low-and high-resolution emission and transmission spectroscopic …

Using a general circulation model (GCM), we investigate trends in simulated hot Jupiter
atmospheres for a range of irradiation temperatures (1500–4000 K), surface gravities (10 …

Ultra-hot Jupiters are perfect targets for transmission spectroscopy. However, their
atmospheres feature strong spatial variations in temperature, chemistry, dynamics, cloud …

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 …

Ultra-hot Jupiters are highly irradiated gas giant exoplanets on close-in orbits around their
host stars. The dayside atmospheres of these objects strongly emit thermal radiation due to …
