Clouds in the atmosphere of the super-Earth exoplanet GJ 1214b
Laura Kreidberg,Jacob L. Bean,Jean-Michel Desert,Björn Benneke,Drake Deming,Kevin B. Stevenson,Sara Seager,Zachory K. Berta-Thompson,Andreas Seifahrt,Derek Homeier +9 more
TL;DR: A measurement of the transmission spectrum of GJ 1214b at near-infrared wavelengths is reported, sufficiently precise to detect absorption features from a high mean-molecular-mass atmosphere and rule out cloud-free atmospheric models with compositions dominated by water, methane, carbon monoxide, nitrogen or carbon dioxide.
A continuum from clear to cloudy hot-Jupiter exoplanets without primordial water depletion

Gibson,Gregory W. Henry,Catherine M. Huitson,Heather Knutson,Alain Lecavelier des Etangs,Frederic Pont,Adam P. Showman,Alfred Vidal-Madjar,Michael H. Williamson,Paul Wilson +20 more
TL;DR: The difference between the planetary radius measured at optical and infrared wavelengths is an effective metric for distinguishing different atmosphere types, so that strong water absorption lines are seen in clear-atmosphere planets and the weakest features are associated with clouds and hazes.
