The mid-IR view of exoplanet atmospheres

The Mid-InfraRed Instrument (MIRI) is a joined US/EU project looking at the longest wavelength Universe accessible by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). With MIRI we can look at the thermal radiation from stars and planets. This unique wavelength range provides access to the spectroscopic fingerprint of many molecules and cloud particles not accessible by the other instruments on JWST. The European Guaranteed Time Observational program (GTO) program has been used to demonstrate the unique capabilities of MIRI to characterise the atmospheres of exoplanets and constrain their formation and climate conditions. Here several examples will be discussed showcasing these capabilities.
