Five key exoplanet questions answered via the analysis of 25 hot-Jupiter atmospheres in eclipse
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 …

The Apparently Decaying Orbit of WASP-12
We present new transit and occultation times for the hot Jupiter WASP-12b. The data are
compatible with a constant period derivative: $\dot {P}=-29\pm 3$ ms yr $^{-1} $ and $ P/\dot …

Statistical characterization of hot Jupiter atmospheres using Spitzer's secondary eclipses
We report 78 secondary eclipse depths for a sample of 36 transiting hot Jupiters observed at
3.6 and 4.5 μm using the Spitzer Space Telescope. Our eclipse results for 27 of these …

Multicolour photometry for exoplanet candidate validation
Context. The TESS and PLATO missions are expected to find vast numbers of new transiting
planet candidates. However, only a fraction of these candidates will be legitimate planets …

Deciphering the atmospheric composition of WASP-12b: A comprehensive analysis of its dayside emission
ABSTRACT WASP-12b was the first planet reported to have a carbon-to-oxygen ratio (C/O)
greater than one in its dayside atmosphere. However, recent work to further characterize its …

Ground-based near-UV observations of 15 transiting exoplanets: constraints on their atmospheres and no evidence for asymmetrical transits
Transits of exoplanets observed in the near-UV have been used to study the scattering
properties of their atmospheres and possible star–planet interactions. We observed the …
