Exoplanetary science is on the verge of an unprecedented revolution. The thousands of
exoplanets discovered over the past decade have most recently been supplemented by …

We describe how environmental context can help determine whether oxygen (O2) detected
in extrasolar planetary observations is more likely to have a biological source. Here we …

Planets orbiting M-dwarf stars are prime targets in the search for rocky exoplanet
atmospheres. The small size of M dwarfs renders their planets exceptional targets for …

The critical first step in the search for life on exoplanets over the next decade is to determine
whether rocky planets transiting small M-dwarf stars possess atmospheres and, if so, what …

Measurements of the atmospheric carbon (C) and oxygen (O) relative to hydrogen (H) in hot
Jupiters (relative to their host stars) provide insight into their formation location and …

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

We present the easy-to-use, publicly available, Python package petitRADTRANS, built for
the spectral characterization of exoplanet atmospheres. The code is fast, accurate, and …

The search for rocky planet atmospheres with JWST has focused on planets transiting M
dwarfs. Such planets have favorable planet-to-star size ratios, enhancing the amplitude of …

Context. Clouds are ubiquitous in exoplanet atmospheres and they represent a challenge
for the model interpretation of their spectra. When generating a large number of model …

High-resolution spectroscopy (R≥ 25,000) has recently emerged as one of the leading
methods for detecting atomic and molecular species in the atmospheres of exoplanets …
