While the detection of exoplanets is an important ongoing field of activity, the characterization of their atmosphere has just begun and it is developing very rapidly. A lot can be learnt from spectroscopic observations of an exoplanet atmosphere; the molecular composition of giant exoplanet atmospheres can trace the planet’s formation and evolution; the atmosphere of rocky exoplanets can host biosignature gases. Spectroscopy in Infrared wavelength allow to establish new knowledge on the atmosphere of exoplanets, by exploiting the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and Spitzer archived space data.

One of the primary objectives of the Exoplanets-A project is to establish new insight on the influence of the host star on the planetary atmosphere. To model successfully the exoplanet atmosphere, it is necessary to have a sound knowledge of the host star. Observing stars at visible wavelength is wealth of information. It provides with an extreme precision stellar parameters such as its luminosity, effective temperature and radius which have an impact in the retrieval process of the planetary-atmosphere properties and on its errors.
