SUMMARY:Characterising the Atmospheres and Circumplanetary Environment of 
 Exoplanets - Ernst DeMooij (QUB)

DESCRIPTION:Since the discovery of the first planet outside our solar-syst
 em almost 25 years ago\, the field of exoplanet research has made a lot of
  progress. Not only has the number of known exoplanets increased to over 3
 000\, the atmospheres for a number of exoplanets have been detected.\n\nTh
 ese atmospheric studies have mainly been made for transiting planets. For 
 these planets is not only possible to study their atmosphere in emission/r
 eflection during the secondary eclipse and through their phase-curve\, but
  also in transmission during the transit. I will show that ground-based te
 lescopes can be used to reach the high precision required to detect the at
 mospheric signatures\, while long-term monitoring with space-based telesco
 pes allows us to start and probe dynamics in the atmospheres of alien worl
 ds. Finally\, I will show how we can use high-resolution spectroscopy to s
 earch for rings around exoplanets.
