The Spectroscopic Frontier: A Comprehensive Review of Exoplanet Atmospheric Characterization in the JWST Era
Abstract This literature review examines the dramatic advancements in exoplanet atmospheric characterization, charting the field’s transition from initial detections to detailed, high-fidelity spectroscopic analyses in the era of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The foundational observational techniques—Transmission Spectroscopy (Charbonneau et al. ) and Secondary Eclipse/Emission Spectroscopy (Deming et al. )—have been augmented by the…
