Hydrogen sulfide and metal-enriched atmosphere for a Jupiter-mass exoplanet
As the closest transiting hot Jupiter to Earth, HD 189733b has been the benchmark planet for atmospheric characterization 1 – 3 . It has also been the anchor point for much of our theoretical understanding of exoplanet atmospheres from composition 4 , chemistry 5 , 6 , aerosols 7 to atmospheric dyna...
