Young sub-Neptunes transition from core-powered bolometric escape to photoevaporative escape at smaller radii for lower-mass and more irradiated planets, with self-consistent simulations yielding combined mass-loss rates and analytic transition scalings.
Photochemical kinetic-transport models indicate CS2 abundance in gas giant exoplanets peaks at Teq 500-700 K through CH4-H2S chemistry with S2 photolysis as the driver.
MASCARA-1b atmosphere has solar metallicity, solar C/O, 2.5x solar refractories, and 2.3x solar refractory-to-volatile ratio, consistent with accretion between soot-H2O and H2O-CO snowlines.
New homogeneous abundances for 19 elements in 25 JWST planet-host stars show Tcond slopes independent of stellar and planetary properties after GCE correction, indicating mixed origins requiring careful interpretation.
The paper reviews physical processes, modeling techniques, retrieval methods, and observational strategies for characterizing exoplanet atmospheres, emphasizing Swiss research progress.

The Roasting Marshmallows Program with IGRINS on Gemini South V: Atmosphere of MASCARA-1b is Enriched in Refractory Elements
MASCARA-1b atmosphere has solar metallicity, solar C/O, 2.5x solar refractories, and 2.3x solar refractory-to-volatile ratio, consistent with accretion between soot-H2O and H2O-CO snowlines.
