First statistically significant detection of dayside silicate clouds on a Neptunian-mass exoplanet, with CO and CO2 detections and C/O ratio of 0.984 from JWST spectra.
JWST NIRISS/SOSS data yield a transmission spectrum of the 23 Myr V1298 Tau c showing H2O absorption and an atmospheric metallicity of 14.8^{+56}_{-12} times solar, lower than mature planets of similar mass.
The atmosphere of TOI-1130b shows high metallicity, low C/O, and elevated mean molecular weight consistent with ex-situ formation beyond the water ice line.
JWST spectroscopy of SIMP 0136 shows variability from three atmospheric regions linked to layers with forsterite clouds and water, using PCA, model combinations, and two new mapping methods.
Direct pixel-level extraction of NIRISS spectra for WASP-18b followed by cross-correlation yields 4.4σ CO, 3.4σ H2O, and 7.8σ OH detections, with improved abundance constraints from subsequent retrievals.
WASP-96b shows super-solar metallicity of 2-6x stellar, roughly stellar C/O, tentative SO2 consistent with photochemistry, and an optical slope from scattering aerosols, supporting core-accretion formation beyond the water snowline.
Including tidal and centrifugal gravity corrections increases retrieved molecular abundances in transmission spectra retrievals for WASP-12b (HST) and WASP-39b (JWST).
The paper reviews physical processes, modeling techniques, retrieval methods, and observational strategies for characterizing exoplanet atmospheres, emphasizing Swiss research progress.
