Towards a theory for the atmospheres, structure, and evolution of giant exoplanets

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference contribution

Abstract

In this short review, I summarize some of the salient features of the emerging theory of exoplanets in general, and of giant exoplanets in particular. A focus is on the characterization of transiting planets at primary and secondary eclipse, but various other related topics are covered, if only briefly. A theme that clearly emerges is that a vibrant new science of comparative exoplanetology is being born.
