TL;DR: The ARIEL mission as mentioned in this paper was designed to observe a large number of transiting planets for statistical understanding, including gas giants, Neptunes, super-Earths and Earth-size planets around a range of host star types using transit spectroscopy in the 1.25-7.8 μm spectral range and multiple narrow-band photometry in the optical.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used ground-based photometric light curves from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope to obtain the ground-truth light curves of the WASP-121 discovery team.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a one-dimensional radiative/convective equilibrium code ATMO to investigate the spectral properties of brown dwarfs and showed that the spectra of Y dwarfs can be accurately reproduced with a cloudless model if vertical mixing and NH-sub 3 quenching are taken into account.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a new, completely different explanation for BD and extrasolar giant planet (EGP) spectral evolution, without the need to invoke clouds, and showed that brown dwarf (L and T, respectively) and EGP atmospheres are subject to a thermo-chemical instability similar in nature to the fingering or chemical convective instability present in Earth oceans and at the Earth core/mantle boundary.

TL;DR: WASP-39b is a hot Saturn-mass exoplanet with a predicted clear atmosphere based on observations in the optical and infrared as mentioned in this paper, which is relatively high with respect to the currently established mass-metallicity trends.
