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 …

Rocky planets are common around other stars, but their atmospheric properties remain
largely unconstrained. Thanks to a wealth of recent planet discoveries and upcoming …

Population studies of exoplanets are key to unlocking their statistical properties. So far, the
inferred properties have been mostly limited to planetary, orbital, and stellar parameters …

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 …

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

Context. Ultra-hot Jupiters are the hottest exoplanets that have been discovered so far.
Observations begin to provide insight into the composition of their extended atmospheres …

Context. The anomalously large radii of hot Jupiters are still not fully understood, and all of
the proposed explanations are based on the idea that these close-in giant planets possess …

High-resolution spectroscopy has opened the way for new, detailed study of exoplanet
atmospheres. There is evidence that this technique can be sensitive to the complex, three …

Radiative-transfer (RT) is a fundamental part of modelling exoplanet atmospheres with
general circulation models (GCMs). An accurate RT scheme is required for estimates of the …
