Hot Jupiters (HJs) are very good targets for transmission spectroscopy analysis. Their atmospheres have a large scale height, implying a high signal-to-noise ratio. As these planets orbit close to their stars, they often present strong thermal and chemical heterogeneities between the day- and nightside of their atmosphere. For the hottest of...

Context. Stellar activity and convection-related surface structures might cause bias in planet detection and characterization that use these transits. Surface convection simulations help to quantify the granulation signal.Aims. We used realistic three-dimensional (3D) radiative hydrodynamical (RHD) simulations from the Stagger grid and...
