Hot Jupiters were the first exoplanets to be discovered around main sequence stars and
astonished us with their close-in orbits. They are a prime example of how exoplanets have …

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 …

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

Measurements of the atmospheric carbon (C) and oxygen (O) relative to hydrogen (H) in hot
Jupiters (relative to their host stars) provide insight into their formation location and …

Constraining planet formation based on the atmospheric composition of exoplanets is a
fundamental goal of the exoplanet community. Existing studies commonly try to constrain …

The atmospheres of gaseous giant exoplanets orbiting close to their parent stars (hot
Jupiters) have been probed for nearly two decades,. They allow us to investigate the …

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 …

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 …

To constrain the formation history of an exoplanet, we need to know its chemical
composition,–. With an equilibrium temperature of about 4,050 kelvin, the exoplanet KELT …

Our understanding of planet formation has been rapidly evolving in recent years. The
classical planet formation theory, developed when the only known planetary system was our …
