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 …

Transmission spectroscopy,–of exoplanets has revealed signatures of water vapour,
aerosols and alkali metals in a few dozen exoplanet atmospheres,. However, these previous …

Measuring the abundances of carbon and oxygen in exoplanet atmospheres is considered a
crucial avenue for unlocking the formation and evolution of exoplanetary systems,. Access to …

Photochemistry is a fundamental process of planetary atmospheres that regulates the
atmospheric composition and stability. However, no unambiguous photochemical products …

The Saturn-mass exoplanet WASP-39b has been the subject of extensive efforts to
determine its atmospheric properties using transmission spectroscopy,,–. However, these …

Measuring the metallicity and carbon-to-oxygen (C/O) ratio in exoplanet atmospheres is a
fundamental step towards constraining the dominant chemical processes at work and, if in …

Close-in giant exoplanets with temperatures greater than 2,000 K ('ultra-hot Jupiters') have
been the subject of extensive efforts to determine their atmospheric properties using thermal …

The Near-Inrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is
a very versatile instrument, offering mul-tiobject and integral field spectroscopy with varying …

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 …
