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 …

Clouds, which are common features in Earth's atmosphere, form in atmospheres of planets
that orbit other stars than our Sun, in so-called extrasolar planets or exoplanets. Exoplanet …

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

We present the easy-to-use, publicly available, Python package petitRADTRANS, built for
the spectral characterization of exoplanet atmospheres. The code is fast, accurate, and …

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 …

Ultra-hot Jupiters are tidally locked gas giants with dayside temperatures high enough to
dissociate hydrogen and other molecules. Their atmospheres are vastly non-uniform in …

We present high-resolution dayside thermal emission observations of the exoplanet WASP-
18 b using IGRINS on Gemini South. We remove stellar and telluric signatures using …

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 …

Exoplanet emission spectra are often modelled assuming that the hemisphere observed is
well represented by a horizontally homogenized atmosphere. However, this approximation …

Abstract Recently, we introduced PLanetary Atmospheric Tool for Observer Noobs
(PLATON), a Python package that calculates model transmission spectra for exoplanets and …
