A Highly Reflective Atmosphere on the Lava World TOI-561b Revealed by JWST/NIRSpec Phase Curve
Samuel Boucher, Lisa Dang, Alex McGinty +15
Ultra-short period (USP) rocky planets are expected to be depleted of any substantial gaseous envelope due to the intense irradiation they receive from their host star, making the…
Nightside clouds and disequilibrium chemistry on the hot Jupiter WASP-43b
Taylor J. Bell, Nicolas Crouzet, Patricio E. Cubillos +80
Hot Jupiters are among the best-studied exoplanets, but it is still poorly understood how their chemical composition and cloud properties vary with longitude. Theoretical models pr…
Equatorial Waves and Superrotation in the Stratosphere of a Titan General Circulation Model
Neil T. Lewis, Nicholas A. Lombardo, Peter L. Read +1
We investigate the characteristics of equatorial waves associated with the maintenance of superrotation in the stratosphere of a Titan general circulation model. A variety of equat…
A broadband thermal emission spectrum of the ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-18b
Louis-Philippe Coulombe, Björn Benneke, Ryan Challener +73
Close-in giant exoplanets with temperatures greater than 2,000 K (''ultra-hot Jupiters'') have been the subject of extensive efforts to determine their atmospheric properties using…
Bistability of the atmospheric circulation on TRAPPIST-1e
Denis E. Sergeev, Neil T. Lewis, F. Hugo Lambert +4
Using a 3D general circulation model, we demonstrate that a confirmed rocky exoplanet and a primary observational target, TRAPPIST-1e presents an interesting case of climate bistab…
Temperature Structures Associated with Different Components of the Atmospheric Circulation on Tidally Locked Exoplanets
Neil T. Lewis, Mark Hammond
Observations of time-resolved thermal emission from tidally locked exoplanets can tell us about their atmospheric temperature structure. Telescopes such as JWST and ARIEL will impr…
The rotational and divergent components of atmospheric circulation on tidally locked planets
Mark Hammond, Neil T. Lewis
Tidally locked exoplanets likely host global atmospheric circulations with a superrotating equatorial jet, planetary-scale stationary waves and thermally-driven overturning circula…
The dependence of global super-rotation on planetary rotation rate
Neil T. Lewis, Greg J. Colyer, Peter L. Read
An atmosphere may be described as globally super-rotating if its total zonal angular momentum exceeds that associated with solid-body co-rotation with the underlying planet. In thi…
Investigating the Semiannual Oscillation on Mars using data assimilation
Tao Ruan, Neil T. Lewis, Stephen R. Lewis +2
A Martian semiannual oscillation (SAO), similar to that in the Earth's tropical stratosphere, is evident in the Mars Analysis Correction Data Assimilation reanalysis dataset (MACDA…
The influence of a sub-stellar continent on the climate of a tidally-locked exoplanet
Neil T. Lewis, F. Hugo Lambert, Ian A. Boutle +3
Previous studies have demonstrated that continental carbon-silicate weathering is important to the continued habitability of a terrestrial planet. Despite this, few studies have co…
