Water vapour in the atmosphere of the habitable-zone eight-Earth-mass planet K2-18 b
In the past decade, observations from space and the ground have found water to be the
most abundant molecular species, after hydrogen, in the atmospheres of hot, gaseous …

Water vapour in the atmosphere of a transiting extrasolar planet
Water is predicted to be among the most abundant (if not the most abundant) molecular
species after hydrogen in the atmospheres of close-in extrasolar giant planets ('hot …

The exosphere as a boundary: Origin and evolution of airless bodies in the inner solar system and beyond including planets with silicate atmospheres
In this review we discuss all the relevant solar/stellar radiation and plasma parameters and
processes that act together in the formation and modification of atmospheres and …

Transmission spectra of three-dimensional hot Jupiter model atmospheres
We compute models of the transmission spectra of planets HD 209458b, HD 189733b, and
generic hot Jupiters. We examine the effects of temperature, surface gravity, and metallicity …

Multiwavelength constraints on the day–night circulation patterns of HD 189733b
We present new Spitzer observations of the phase variation of the hot Jupiter HD 189733b
in the MIPS 24 μm bandpass, spanning the same part of the planet's orbit as our previous …

Optimal estimation retrievals of the atmospheric structure and composition of HD 189733b from secondary eclipse spectroscopy
Recent spectroscopic observations of transiting hot Jupiters have permitted the derivation of
the thermal structure and molecular abundances of H2O, CO2, CO and CH4 in these …
