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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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

Transmission spectroscopy provides us with information on the atmospheric properties at
the limb, which is often intuitively assumed to be a narrow annulus around the planet …

Abstract The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) presents the opportunity to transform
our understanding of planets and the origins of life by revealing the atmospheric …

Cool astrophysical objects, such as (exo) planets, brown dwarfs, or asymptotic giant branch
stars, can be strongly affected by condensation. Condensation not only directly affects the …

The atmospheres of ultra-hot Jupiters have been characterized in detail through recent
phase curve and low-and high-resolution emission and transmission spectroscopic …
