Atmospheric dynamics and variability of periodically irradiated tidally locked planets
Deepayan Banik, Vasilii Pustovoit, Thaddeus D. Komacek +1
Time-variable stellar heating may create new climate states, such as permanently hot or cold hemispheres, on asynchronous planets. Planets on eccentric orbits, circumbinary planets…
Measurement-Only Dynamical Phase Transitions in Spin-1 Chains
Kemal Aziz, Haining Pan, J. H. Pixley
We study measurement-only dynamics in an interacting spin-1 chain, using forced, normalized local projections rather than Born-rule-sampled measurement outcomes. Starting from the…
Inhomogeneous Cloud Coverage and Altitude-Dependent Heat Transport on the Hot-Jupiter NGTS-10 Ab from its Optical-to-Infrared Phase Curve
Louis-Philippe Coulombe, Vivien Parmentier, Kevin B. Stevenson +15
Hot-Jupiters, gas giant planets with equilibrium temperatures above 1,000 K, host large temperature gradients between their permanent day- and nightsides, resulting in circulation…
A Physically Driven Parameterisation of Multidimensional Atmospheres: Application to the JWST Phase Curve of WASP-121b
Yuanheng Yang, Guo Chen, Xianyu Tan +6
Understanding the multidimensional structure of strongly irradiated exoplanets is essential for interpreting their atmospheric dynamics, chemistry and energy transport, yet current…
Flow-Driven Limb-Asymmetry of Haze Distribution Part I: An Analytical Framework for Predicting the Size Distribution of Photochemical Hazes Across the Two Limbs of hot-Jupiters
Mei Ting Mak, Thaddeus D. Komacek, Nathan J. Mayne +1
Photochemical haze, a common aerosol type expected to form in the atmospheres of hot-Jupiters, can become concentrated to different extents between the morning and evening limbs de…
Magnetic field strengths of hot giant exoplanets consistent with Solar System values
Julia V. Seidel, Vivien Parmentier, Bibiana Prinoth +29
Magnetic fields are ubiquitous in the universe. They play a key role in shaping the activity of stars, the habitability of rocky planets, and the long-term retention of planetary a…
Horizontal transport as a source of disequilibrium chemistry on the nightside of a hot exoplanet
Vivien Parmentier, Kevin B. Stevenson, Luis Welbanks +15
Hot Jupiters have temperature gradients of several hundreds of degrees between their permanent day and nightsides. In equilibrium, the primary carbon reservoir is expected to trans…
Exploring the Impact of Tilted Magnetic Dipoles on the Atmospheric Dynamics of Hot Jupiters: Towards an Improved Magnetohydrodynamic Framework
James Fecanin, Hayley Beltz, John Allen +1
The atmospheres of hot Jupiters lie in a dynamical regime without a solar system analogue. The strongly irradiated daysides reach temperatures sufficiently hot for substantial ther…
The Key to Unlocking Exoplanet Biosignatures: a UK-led IR Spectrograph for the Habitable Worlds Observatory Coronagraph
Beth Biller, Dan Dicken, Olivier Absil +13
The detection of life on rocky exoplanets in the habitable zones of nearby stars would be a paradigm-shifting advance, and it is one of the greatest scientific challenges of our ti…
Mantle Convection and Nightside Volcanism on Lava World K2-141 b
Tobias G. Meier, Claire Marie Guimond, Raymond T. Pierrehumbert +13
Ultra-short period lava worlds offer a unique window into the coupled evolution of planetary interior and atmospheres under extreme irradiation. In this study, we investigate the m…
Extreme winds on the emerging dayside of an ultrahot Jupiter
Yapeng Zhang, Joost P. Wardenier, Aaron Householder +16
High-resolution spectroscopy provides a unique opportunity to directly probe atmospheric dynamics by resolving Doppler shifts of planetary signal as a function of orbital phases. U…
