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 …

Ultrahot Jupiters are gas giants that orbit so close to their host star that they are tidally
locked, causing a permanent hot dayside and a cooler nightside. Signatures of their …

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 full-phase infrared light curves of low-eccentricity hot Jupiters show a trend of increasing
dayside-to-nightside brightness temperature difference with increasing equilibrium …

Transport-induced quenching, ie the homogenization of chemical abundances by
atmospheric advection, is thought to occur in the atmospheres of hot gas giant exoplanets …

Stellar flares present challenges to the potential habitability of terrestrial planets orbiting M
dwarf stars through inducing changes in the atmospheric composition and irradiating the …

We present results from an atmospheric circulation study of nine hot Jupiters that compose a
large transmission spectral survey using the Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescopes. These …

In this work we investigate the impact of calculating non-equilibrium chemical abundances
consistently with the temperature structure for the atmospheres of highly-irradiated, close-in …
