Retrieval of atmospheric structure and composition of exoplanets from transit spectroscopy
<p>Recent spectroscopic observations of transiting exoplanets have permitted the derivation of the thermal structure and molecular abundances of H<sub>2</sub>O, CO, CO<sub>2</sub>, CH<sub>4</sub>, metallic oxides and alkali metals in these extreme atmosphere...
