Atmospheric variability driven by radiative cloud feedback in brown dwarfs and directly imaged extrasolar giant planets
Xianyu Tan, Adam P. Showman
Growing observational evidence has suggested active meteorology in atmospheres of brown dwarfs (BDs) and directly imaged extrasolar giant planets (EGPs). In particular, a number of…

Atmospheric Circulation of Brown Dwarfs and Jupiter and Saturn-like Planets: Zonal Jets, Long-term Variability, and QBO-type Oscillations
Adam P. Showman, Xianyu Tan, Xi Zhang
Brown dwarfs and directly imaged giant planets exhibit significant evidence for active atmospheric circulation, which induces a large-scale patchiness in the cloud structure that e…

Effects of dissociation/recombination on the day-night temperature contrasts of ultra-hot Jupiters
Thaddeus D. Komacek, Xianyu Tan
Secondary eclipse observations of ultra-hot Jupiters have found evidence that hydrogen is dissociated on their daysides. Additionally, full-phase light curve observations of ultra-…
