ABSTRACT Ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs) are natural laboratories to study extreme physics in planetary atmospheres and their rich observational data sets are yet to be confronted with …
This is an exciting era for exo-planetary exploration. The recently launched JWST, and other upcoming space missions such as Ariel, Twinkle, and ELTs are set to bring fresh insights to …

Aims. We analyse unpublished Spitzer observations of the thermal phase-curve of WASP- 121 b, a benchmark ultra-hot Jupiter. Methods. We adopted the wavelet pixel-independent …

Using a three-dimensional general circulation model, we show that the atmospheric dynamics on a tidally locked Earth-like exoplanet, simulated with the planetary and orbital …
Conventional atmospheric retrieval codes are designed to extract information, such as chemical abundances, thermal structures, and cloud properties, from fully" reduced" spectra …
The goal of this white paper is to provide a snapshot of the data availability and data needs primarily for the Ariel space mission, but also for related atmospheric studies of exoplanets …
Most current models of hot-exoplanet atmospheres assume shallow heating, a strong day- night differential heating near the top of the atmosphere. Here we investigate the effects of …

We explore how finite integration time or temporal binning can affect the analysis of exoplanet phase curves. We provide analytical formulae to account for this effect or, if …
Sub-Neptune-type exoplanets are abundant in our Galaxy yet have no solar system analogs. They exist in a broad range of stellar forcing and rotational regimes that are …
