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, a chemical network was developed for the temperature and pressure range relevant to hot Jupiters atmospheres, and the authors compared the predictions obtained from this scheme with equilibrium calculations, with different schemes available in the literature that contain N-bearing species and with previously published photochemical models.

TL;DR: In this article, the analysis of two new spectroscopic observations of the super-Earth 55 Cancri e, in the near infrared, obtained with the WFC3 camera onboard the HST.

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.
