Exoplanet transits present the opportunity to study composition and structure of planetary atmospheres in absorption. In this project we will take advantage of recent discoveries of transiting exoplanets around bright stars, particularly with TESS and NGTS, and apply a range of ground-based and space telescopes to detect a range of atomic and molecular species. Our initial focus will be on longer-period cool giant planets, which have not been studied to date. We also aim to use high-resolution spectroscopy to study global circulation on such exoplanets.

系外行星凌日为研究吸收中的行星大气的组成和结构提供了机会。在这个项目中，我们将利用最近发现的围绕明亮恒星凌日的系外行星，特别是利用TESS和NGTS，并应用一系列地面和空间望远镜来探测一系列原子和分子物种。我们最初的重点将是较长时间的冷却巨行星，这些行星迄今还没有被研究过。我们还打算使用高分辨率光谱学来研究此类系外行星上的全球环流。
