2 Thousands of exoplanets discovered. Huge range of masses, sizes and orbits. Jupiters Neptunes Super-Earths Earths
3 Frequency Structure Atmosphere Role of the host star Role of the environment
4 IMPLICATION OF ATMOSPHERIC STUDIES Structure Formation Evolution primary & secondary atmospheres Habitability Climate
5 SEVERAL PROCESSES DETERMINE THE ATMOSPHERE PROPERTIES
6 HABITABILITY?
7 DIFFICULT TO DEFINE: ATMOSPHERE ALONE IS NOT SUFFICIENT Planets with syncronized rotation may be habitable? Leconte et al 2015

24 PROBING ELEMENTAL COMPOSITION ammonia methane water (O,C,N,S..) in hot, gaseous exoplanets We can probe elemental composition for hot gaseous planets Water never condenses at T eq > 500 K Most of the other main reservoirs of oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen (e.g. CO, CH 4, CO 2, NH 3, N 2 ) condense at even lower temperatures The advantage of hot planets
