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: The 24-micrometer light curve of the Andromedae system shows a variation in phase with the orbital motion of the innermost planet, demonstrating that such planets possess distinct hot substellar (day) and cold antistellar (night) faces.

TL;DR: In this paper, high-resolution atmospheric flow simulations of the tidally locked extrasolar giant planet HD 209458b show large-scale spatio-temporal variability, which is in contrast to the simple, permanent day/night (i.e., hot/cold) picture.

TL;DR: In this paper, a wide range of models fit the observational data, confirming the basic understanding of hot Jupiter atmospheric physics, and a revised secondary eclipse IRTF upper limit at 2.2 μm was presented, which places a stringent constraint on the adjacent H2O absorption band depths.

TL;DR: In this article, high-resolution atmospheric flow simulations of the tidally-locked extrasolar giant planet, HD 209458b, show large-scale spatio-temporal variability, in contrast to the simple, permanent day/night (i.e., hot/cold) picture.
