The characterization of exoplanetary atmospheres has come of age in the past decade, as
astronomical techniques now allow for albedos, chemical abundances, temperature profiles …

Abstract Study Analysis Group 21 (SAG21) of NASA's Exoplanet Exploration Program
Analysis Group was organized to study the effect of stellar contamination on space-based …

Seven rocky planets orbit the nearby dwarf star TRAPPIST-1, providing a unique opportunity
to search for atmospheres on small planets outside the Solar System. Thanks to the recent …

We derive analytic, closed form, numerically stable solutions for the total flux received from a
spherical planet, moon, or star during an occultation if the specific intensity map of the body …

Hot gas giant exoplanets can lose part of their atmosphere due to strong stellar irradiation,
and these losses can affect their physical and chemical evolution. Studies of atmospheric …

High-resolution spectroscopy (R≥ 25,000) has recently emerged as one of the leading
methods for detecting atomic and molecular species in the atmospheres of exoplanets …

As the search for Earth-like exoplanets gathers pace, in order to understand them, we need
comprehensive theories for how planetary atmospheres form and evolve. Written by two well …

As the closest transiting hot Jupiter to Earth, HD 189733b has been the benchmark planet
for atmospheric characterization,–. It has also been the anchor point for much of our …

We carried out a Bayesian homogeneous determination of the orbital parameters of 231
transiting giant planets (TGPs) that are alone or have distant companions; we employed …

We present three transit observations of HD 189733 b obtained with the high-resolution
spectrograph CARMENES at Calar Alto. A strong absorption signal is detected in the near …
