Description
Near-infrared high-resolution spectroscopy relies on cross correlation with model spectra to extract information about the chemical and physical conditions of exoplanet atmospheres. In this talk I will review recent efforts to identify the most reliable molecular line lists applicable to simulate the high temperatures of extrasolar planets. Furthermore, I will explain how GIANO could be used to detect transmission spectra of cloudy exoplanets and distinguish cloudy atmospheres from atmospheres with a high metallicity, currently challenging at low spectral resolution.
