Atmospheric gravitational tides of Earth-like planets orbiting low-mass stars
Thomas Navarro, Timothy M. Merlis, Nicolas B. Cowan +1
Temperate terrestrial planets orbiting low-mass stars are subject to strong tidal forces. The effects of gravitational tides on the solid planet and that of atmospheric thermal tid…
Sensitivity of the Atmospheric Water Cycle within the Habitable Zone of a Tidally-Locked, Earth-like Exoplanet
Marie-Pier Labonté, Timothy M. Merlis
Synchronously orbiting, tidally-locked exoplanets with a dayside facing their star and a permanently dark nightside orbiting dim stars are prime candidates for habitability. Simula…
Simulations of Water Vapor and Clouds on Rapidly Rotating and Tidally Locked Planets: a 3D Model Intercomparison
Jun Yang, Jeremy Leconte, Eric T. Wolf +4
Robustly modeling the inner edge of the habitable zone is essential for determining the most promising potentially habitable exoplanets for atmospheric characterization. Global cli…
Differences in water vapor radiative transfer among 1D models can significantly affect the inner edge of the habitable zone
Jun Yang, Jeremy Leconte, Eric T. Wolf +8
An accurate estimate of the inner edge of the habitable zone is critical for determining which exoplanets are potentially habitable and for designing future telescopes to observe t…
Atmospheric Circulation of Terrestrial Exoplanets
Adam P. Showman, Robin D. Wordsworth, Timothy M. Merlis +1
The investigation of planets around other stars began with the study of gas giants, but is now extending to the discovery and characterization of super-Earths and terrestrial plane…
Atmospheric dynamics of Earth-like tidally locked aquaplanets
Timothy M. Merlis, Tapio Schneider
We present simulations of atmospheres of Earth-like aquaplanets that are tidally locked to their star, that is, planets whose orbital period is equal to the rotation period about t…
