The Impact of Mixing Treatments on Cloud Modelling in 3D Simulations of Hot Jupiters

D. A. Christie, N. J. Mayne, S. Lines +7

We present results of 3D hydrodynamical simulations of HD209458b including a coupled, radiatively-active cloud model ({\sc EddySed}). We investigate the role of the mixing by repla…

An inventory of atomic species in the atmosphere of WASP-121b using UVES high-resolution spectroscopy

Stephanie R. Merritt, Neale P. Gibson, Stevanus K. Nugroho +8

Ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs) present excellent targets for atmospheric characterisation. Their hot dayside temperatures (T 2200 K) strongly suppress the formation of condens…

Transmission spectroscopy with VLT FORS2: a featureless spectrum for the low-density transiting exoplanet WASP-88b

Petros Spyratos, Nikolay Nikolov, John Southworth +10

We present ground-based optical transmission spectroscopy of the low-density hot Jupiter WASP-88b covering the wavelength range 4413-8333 Å with the FORS2 spectrograph on the Very…

Possibilities for an Aerial Biosphere in Temperate Sub Neptune-Sized Exoplanet Atmospheres

Sara Seager, Janusz J. Petkowski, Maximilian N. Günther +3

The search for signs of life through the detection of exoplanet atmosphere biosignature gases is gaining momentum. Yet, only a handful of rocky exoplanet atmospheres are suitable f…

Ground-Based Transmission Spectroscopy with VLT FORS2: Evidence for faculae and clouds in the optical spectrum of the warm Saturn WASP-110b

Nikolay Nikolov, Gracjan Maciejewski, Savvas Constantinou +12

We present a ground-based optical transmission spectrum for the warm Saturn-mass exoplanet WASP-110b from two transit observations made with the FOcal Reducer and Spectrograph (FOR…

HST PanCET program: Non-detection of atmospheric escape in the warm Saturn-sized planet WASP-29 b

L. A. dos Santos, V. Bourrier, D. Ehrenreich +10

(Abridged) Short-period gas giant exoplanets are susceptible to intense atmospheric escape due to their large scale heights and strong high-energy irradiation. This process is thou…
