Jet Streams and Tracer Mixing in the Atmospheres of Brown Dwarfs and Isolated Young Giant Planets
Xianyu Tan
Observations of brown dwarfs and relatively isolated young extrasolar giant planets have provided unprecedented details to probe atmospheric dynamics in a new regime. Questions abo…
Weak Seasonality on Temperate Exoplanets Around Low-mass Stars
Xianyu Tan
Planets with non-zero obliquity and/or orbital eccentricity experience seasonal variations of stellar irradiation at local latitudes. The extent of the atmospheric response can be…
Cloud-convection feedback in brown dwarfs atmosphere
Maxence Lefèvre, Xianyu Tan, Elspeth K. H. Lee +1
Numerous observational evidence has suggested the presence of active meteorology in the atmospheres of brown dwarfs. A near-infrared brightness variability has been observed. Cloud…
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…
Simulating gas giant exoplanet atmospheres with Exo-FMS: Comparing semi-grey, picket fence and correlated-k radiative-transfer schemes
Elspeth K. H. Lee, Vivien Parmentier, Mark Hammond +5
Radiative-transfer (RT) is a fundamental part of modelling exoplanet atmospheres with general circulation models (GCMs). An accurate RT scheme is required for estimates of the atmo…
Atmospheric circulation of brown dwarfs and directly imaged exoplanets driven by cloud radiative feedback: global and equatorial dynamics
Xianyu Tan, Adam P. Showman
Brown dwarfs and directly imaged exoplanets exhibit observational evidence for active atmospheric circulation, raising critical questions about mechanisms driving the circulation,…
