1 Extrasolar Giant Planet Theory and Atmospheres An Emerging Synthesis of Planetary Science and Astronomy

2 Theory Program for Modeling EGPs  Evolution, Spectra, and Colors of isolated and irradiated substellar- mass objects (SMOs) and planetary structure studies  Theory of T and L dwarfs  Atmospheric Chemistry and Abundances: Molecules and atoms  Reflection Spectra and Albedos of EGPs  Cloud modeling (silicates, Fe, H 2 O, NH 3 )  Transit, eclipse, and secondary eclipse studies  Evolution of Jupiter and Saturn  Opacity and molecular spectrum calculations (Quantum chemistry)  Ab-initio calculations for Na-D, K I, FeH, CrH, TiH …  Predictions in support of ground-based and space-based programs of direct extrasolar planet detection  Radiative transfer techniques  (Collaborators: Burrows, Hubbard, Hubeny, Sudarsky, Sharp, Milsom, Lunine, Li, Fortney, Cooper, Volobuyev)
