Comet-like tails of disintegrating exoplanets explained by escaping outflows emanated from the permanent nightside: day-side versus night-side escape
Wanying Kang, Feng Ding, Robin Wordsworth +1
Ultra-hot disintegrating exoplanets have been detected with tails trailing behind and/or shooting ahead of them. These tails are believed to be made of dusts that are carried upwar…
Differing Enceladean ocean circulation and ice shell geometries driven by tidal heating in the ice versus the core
Wanying Kang, Suyash Bire, Jean-Michel Campin +4
Beneath the icy shell encasing Enceladus, a small icy moon of Saturn, a global ocean of liquid water ejects geyser-like plumes into space through fissures in the ice, making it an…
Collapse of the general circulation in shortwave-absorbing atmospheres: an idealized model study
Wanying Kang, Robin Wordsworth
The response of the general circulation in a dry atmosphere to various atmospheric shortwave absorptivities is investigated in a three-dimensional general circulation model with gr…
Regime transition between eddy-driven and moist-driven circulation on High Obliquity Planets
Wanying Kang
We investigate how the meridional circulation and baroclinic eddies change with insolation and rotation rate, under high and zero obliquity setups, using a general circulation mode…
Wetter Stratospheres on High Obliquity Planets
Wanying Kang
We investigate how obliquity affects stratospheric humidity using a 3D general circulation model and find the stratosphere under high obliquity could be over 3 orders of magnitude…
Mechanisms leading to a warmer climate on high obliquity planets
Wanying Kang
A consistent finding of high obliquity simulations is that they are warmer than their low obliquity counterparts when the climate is cold. Ice-albedo feedback has been suggested as…
