Warm Spitzer Photometry of Three Hot Jupiters: HAT-P-3b, HAT-P-4b and HAT-P-12b
Kamen O. Todorov, Drake Deming, Heather A. Knutson +11
We present Warm Spitzer/IRAC secondary eclipse time series photometry of three short-period transiting exoplanets, HAT-P-3b, HAT-P-4b and HAT-P-12b, in both the available 3.6 and 4…
Spitzer and z' Secondary Eclipse Observations of the Highly Irradiated Transiting Brown Dwarf KELT-1b
Thomas G. Beatty, Karen A. Collins, Jonathan Fortney +9
We present secondary eclipse observations of the highly irradiated transiting brown dwarf KELT-1b. These observations represent the first constraints on the atmospheric dynamics of…
Effects of Latent Heating on Atmospheres of Brown Dwarfs and Directly Imaged Planets
Xianyu Tan, Adam P. Showman
Growing observations of brown dwarfs have provided evidence for strong atmospheric circulation on these objects. Directly imaged planets share similar observations, and can be view…
No Thermal Inversion and a Solar Water Abundance for the Hot Jupiter HD209458b from HST WFC3 Emission Spectroscopy
Michael R. Line, Kevin B. Stevenson, Jacob Bean +6
The nature of the vertical thermal structure of hot Jupiter atmospheres is one of the key questions raised by the characterization of transiting exoplanets over the last decade. Th…
Influences of internal forcing on atmospheric circulations of irradiated giant planets
Yuchen Lian, Adam P. Showman, Xianyu Tan +1
Close-in giant planets with strong stellar irradiation show atmospheric circulation patterns with strong equatorial jets and global-scale stationary waves. So far, almost all model…
Generation of equatorial jets by large-scale latent heating on the giant planets
Yuan Lian, Adam P. Showman
Three-dimensional numerical simulations show that large-scale latent heating resulting from condensation of water vapor can produce multiple zonal jets similar to those on the gas…
