  4. Hot Jupiter isothermal atmospheric models Fortney et al. (2010) Motivation T eq =2500K T eq =2000K Constrain atmospheric structure and composition; T eq =1500K Issues in the field: T eq =1000K (1) Clouds and hazes; T eq =500K (2) Thermal inversions; HD209458b HD189733b Sing et al. (2008) Pont et al. (2013) T eq ~1500K T eq ~1200K N. Nikolov OHP 2015: Twenty years of giant exoplanets University of Exeter October 5th - 9th 2015, Saint-Michel-l’Observatoire

  5. Depending on conditions: exotic refractory species at high T and alkali sulfides, chlorides and water at low T Condensation wide range of reactions curves across depending on T, p and T=100-2500 K composition not all clouds condense from the gas to a solid or liquid phase CaTiO 3 Al 2 O 3 Example (solid MnS): H 2 S + Mn ⟶ ¡ MnS(s) + H2 (Visscher et al. 2006) Lodders & Fegley (2006) 500-1300 K 200 K 1300-2400 K < 3000 K

  6. Large HST program (126 orbits, PI D.K. Sing) Image credit: ESA for 8 planets with T eq = 1000-3000 K Image credit: David A. Aguilar (CfA) Published results for: STIS: optical G430L & G750L (0.3-1 μ m ) WASP-19b, WASP-12b, WFC3: near-IR G141 HAT -P-1b, WASP-31b, WASP-6b; Spitzer/IRAC 3.6 μ m and 4.5 μ m two more in preparation; Aims: (i) compare atmospheric properties; (ii) detect strong absorbers (e.g. Na, K, TiO, hazes, clouds, etc.); (iii) probe atmospheric diversities.
