研究目的
To overview the basic techniques used to characterize transiting exoplanets and discuss practical considerations for measuring precise spectra, highlighting major observational results on the chemistry, climate, and cloud properties of exoplanets.
研究成果
The chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the techniques used to characterize transiting exoplanets and the challenges involved in observing their atmospheres. It highlights the potential of future observing facilities like JWST to revolutionize exoplanet atmosphere characterization, enabling the study of smaller and cooler planets and the detection of many molecules that have been elusive so far.
研究不足
The technical and application constraints include the challenge of detecting tiny signals from exoplanet atmospheres, the need for large telescopes and stable observing environments, and the difficulty of distinguishing between absorption due to molecules in the star spots and absorption by the planet atmosphere.
