We review several aspects of the calculation of exoplanet model atmospheres in the current era, with a focus on understanding the temperature-pressure profiles of atmospheres and their emitted spectra. Most of the focus is on gas giant planets, both under strong stellar irradiation and in isolation. The roles of stellar irradiation, metallicity, surface gravity, C/O ratio, interior fluxes, and cloud opacity are discussed. Connections are made to the well-studied atmospheres of brown dwarfs as well as sub-Neptunes and terrestrial planets, where appropriate. Illustrative examples of model atmosphere retrievals on a thermal emission spectrum are given and connections are made between atmospheric abundances and the predictions of planet formation models.

  1. Estimating dayside effective temperatures of hot Jupiters and associated uncertainties through Gaussian process regression

    astro-ph.EP 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Gaussian process regression gives better-calibrated uncertainties for hot Jupiter dayside temperatures than error-weighted averaging or linear interpolation, and produces a twelve-planet catalogue with credible error bars.

  2. Unveiling the Atmosphere of HR 7672 B from the Near-Infrared High-Resolution Spectrum Using REACH/Subaru

    astro-ph.EP 2025-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    High-resolution REACH spectra of the brown dwarf HR 7672 B reveal water and iron hydride absorption, and a preference for an optically thick cloud layer near 10^1.16 bar.
