The Tale Of The 3 Planets: 3D Cloud Feedback Enhances The Spectral Diversity Of Warm Jupiters

JWST has shown a large diversity in warm Jupiter spectra, despite only small variations in the planetary parameters. However, the main driver of this diversity remains unclear. We aim to […]

Deep Radiative Zones Affect The Planetary Cooling And Internal Structure: Implications For Exoplanet Characterisation

The thermal evolution and interior structure of giant exoplanets are sensitive to the treatment of radiative opacity. At temperatures of ~2000 K, depletion of alkali metals can create a window […]

Warm Jupiters Around M-dwarfs are Great Opportunities for Extensive Chemical, Cloud and Haze Characterisation with JWST

The population of short-period giant exoplanets around M-dwarf stars is slowly rising. These planets present an extraordinary opportunity for atmospheric characterisation and defy our current understanding of planetary formation.

High-resolution Transmission Spectroscopy Of Warm Jupiters: An ESPRESSO Sample With Predictions For ANDES

Warm Jupiter atmospheres predominantly consist of molecular species, notably water, methane and carbon monoxide, often accompanied by clouds and hazes muting their atmospheric features. In this study, we investigate the […]
