At the dawn of the first discovery of exoplanets orbiting Sun-like stars in the mid-1990s, few
believed that observations of exoplanet atmospheres would ever be possible. After the 2002 …

Since the detection a decade ago of the planetary companion of 51 Peg, more than 200
extrasolar planets have been unveiled, mostly by radial-velocity measurements but also in a …

We present thermal phase curve measurements for the hot Jupiter WASP-103b observed
with Hubble/WFC3 and Spitzer/IRAC. The phase curves have large amplitudes and …

Giant exoplanets orbiting very close to their parent star (hot Jupiters) are subject to tidal
forces expected to synchronize their rotational and orbital periods on short timescales (tidal …

Observations of exoplanet atmospheres have shown that aerosols, like in the solar system,
are common across a variety of temperatures and planet types. The formation and …

Context. The evolution of stars and planets is mostly controlled by the properties of their
atmosphere. This is particularly true in the case of exoplanets close to their stars, for which …

Exoplanet atmosphere spectroscopy enables us to improve our understanding of exoplanets
just as remote sensing in our own solar system has increased our understanding of the solar …

We highlight the importance of gaseous TiO and VO opacity on the highly irradiated close-in
giant planets. The day-side atmospheres of these planets naturally fall into two classes that …

Abstract 'Hot Jupiter'extrasolar planets are expected to be tidally locked because they are
close (< 0.05 astronomical units, where 1 au is the average Sun–Earth distance) to their …

We present global, three-dimensional numerical simulations of HD 189733b and HD
209458b that couple the atmospheric dynamics to a realistic representation of nongray …
