THEMES

The workshop will focus on how the four missions above will further our knowledge of exoplanetary atmospheres.

Central science themes include: 

• determining the range of atmospheric composition and planetary albedo for hot Jupiters, mini-Neptunes and (hot) Super-Earths; 
• constraining the presence of clouds and aerosols; 
• determining what processes (outgassing, escape etc.) influence atmospheric evolution and how they correlate with age, stellar type etc;
• determining interactions between the interior and atmosphere in terms of compositional interrelations between solid and liquid interior reservoirs and exoplanet atmospheres and their corresponding host stars;
• deciding the best targets for follow-up spectroscopy missions. 

NOTE: Contributions will be favoured which can demonstrate a specific link with data to-be-collected by one of the four missions. As an example – theoretical studies calculating atmospheric spectra which investigate what the proposed PLATO 2.0 “blue” and “red” colour filters will tell us about exoplanetary atmospheres.
