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

The magma ocean concept was first conceived to explain the geology of the Moon, but
hemispherical or global oceans of silicate melt could be a widespread “lava world” phase of …

As the closest transiting hot Jupiter to Earth, HD 189733b has been the benchmark planet
for atmospheric characterization,–. It has also been the anchor point for much of our …

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 …

Hot giant exoplanets are very exotic objects with no equivalent in the Solar System that
allow us to study the behavior of atmospheres under extreme conditions. Their thermal and …

Precise measurements of chemical abundances in planetary atmospheres are necessary to
constrain the formation histories of exoplanets. A recent study of WASP-127 b, a close-in …

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 …

Spectroscopic observations of exoplanet atmospheres can reveal the chemical composition,
temperature, cloud properties, and (potentially) the habitability of these distant worlds. The …

Transmission spectroscopy has been a workhorse technique used over the past two
decades to constrain the physical and chemical properties of exoplanet atmospheres …

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 …
