The JWST transmission spectrum of TOI-1231 b shows strong CH4 detection and moderate CO2 evidence, consistent with a deep H2-rich atmosphere and no distinct surface.
First mid-IR transmission spectrum of TOI-270 d shows molecular features with Bayesian evidence ln B = 2.8-5.3 and identifies candidate trace molecules from an agnostic search of 203 species.
Older Upper Scorpius disks show reduced molecular emission and hints of higher inner-gas C/O ratios than young disks, indicating chemical evolution consistent with pebble drift.
JWST MIRI/LRS data combined with archival observations detect magnesium silicate clouds (likely Mg2SiO4) in HD 209458b at 1-10 mbar with ~0.1 micron particles using a new rule-based data reduction approach.
MELTYQ couples magma-atmosphere equilibrium models with spectral retrievals to constrain sub-Neptune magma oxidation states and volatile inventories from transmission spectra.
Observations of the HK Tau binary with JWST reveal gas-phase molecular lines in the low-inclination primary and ice absorption features in the edge-on secondary, enabled by their differing inclinations.
JWST observations of Sz 65 and Sz 66 reveal higher cold-to-hot water ratios in the secondary disk, attributed to its unstructured dust disk enabling efficient pebble drift across the snow line.
POSEIDON now includes lab-derived rocky surface albedos, enabling JWST emission spectra to separate thin versus thick atmospheres and potentially identify granite-like versus basaltic surfaces.
Different UV spectra for TRAPPIST-1 produce order-of-magnitude variations in CH4, CO, O2, and O3 abundances for Archean-analog TRAPPIST-1 e atmospheres, generating photochemical degeneracies and potential false-positive biosignatures.
Exo-REM k26 grids with f_sed and a two-column patchy-cloud framework fit VHS 1256 b with a 60-40 thick-thin split and reproduce the 10 μm silicate feature.
Hycean models with a 1-bar H2 envelope, percent-level CH4 and CO, and CO2 at 10^-3 to 10^-2 reproduce the 0.8-5.2 μm JWST spectra of K2-18b.
Experiments in a free expansion cloud chamber using spectroscopy and holography show water vapor homogeneous nucleation onset at saturation ratio near 5, with droplet growth sensitive to mixing and turbulence.
Up-conversion detection converts mid-IR CO absorption to visible band for cavity-free in-situ sensing, reaching 79.6 ppb sensitivity over 0.14 m path with silicon detector and single-photon level detection via SPAD.
New empirical polynomial correlations for NH3 self- and air-broadened half-widths as functions of m and K'' achieve lower mean absolute percentage errors than the current HITRAN2024 values.
CARMApy provides a Python interface to the ExoCARMA microphysics code, enabling simulation of cloud particle size distributions and rates in exoplanet atmospheres with claimed consistency to prior versions and speed gains of 1.9x single-threaded and 3.8x multithreaded.
Dataset of 94,500 total emissivity values for CO2/H2O mixtures at 300-2900 K and 0.01-50 atm.m computed via SNB model and released as plain text files.
The paper reviews physical processes, modeling techniques, retrieval methods, and observational strategies for characterizing exoplanet atmospheres, emphasizing Swiss research progress.

A Hycean Interpretation of K2-18b Supported by Photochemical Atmospheric Compositional
Hycean models with a 1-bar H2 envelope, percent-level CH4 and CO, and CO2 at 10^-3 to 10^-2 reproduce the 0.8-5.2 μm JWST spectra of K2-18b.
