[HTML][HTML] From thermal dissociation to condensation in the atmospheres of ultra hot Jupiters: WASP-121b in context
Context. A new class of exoplanets has emerged: the ultra hot Jupiters, the hottest close-in
gas giants. The majority of them have weaker-than-expected spectral features in the 1.1− 1.7 …

The imprint of exoplanet formation history on observable present-day spectra of hot Jupiters
C Mordasini, R van Boekel, P Mollière… - The Astrophysical …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
The composition of a planet's atmosphere is determined by its formation, evolution, and
present-day insolation. A planet's spectrum therefore may hold clues on its origins. We …
