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...
In the talk we will discuss the effects of X-ray and ultraviolet radiation on atmospheric erosion around young stars. Specifically, we focus on the bimodal distribution of exoplanet radii (i.e. “The Fulton Gap”; Fulton et al. 2017). In Modirrousta-Galian et al. (2020,b) this distribution is theoretically analysed in order to make several predictions that can be astronomically tested. For...
