Storms, Variability, and Multiple Equilibria on Hot-Jupiters
J. Y-K. Cho, J. W. Skinner, H. Th. Thrastarson
Observations of hot-Jupiter atmospheres show large variations in the location of the hot spot and the amplitude of spectral features. Atmospheric flow simulations using the commonl…
Exoplanets and the Sun
J. Y-K. Cho, H. Th. Thrastarson, T. T. Koskinen +4
We review the recent progress in understanding the jet structures on exoplanets as well as on and inside the Sun. The emphasis is on the more robust aspects of observation and nume…
Sensitivity and Variability Redux in Hot-Jupiter Flow Simulations
J. Y-K. Cho, I. Polichtchouk, H. Th. Thrastarson
We revisit the issue of sensitivity to initial flow and intrinsic variability in hot-Jupiter atmospheric flow simulations, originally investigated by Cho et al. (2008) and Thrastar…
The EChO science case
Giovanna Tinetti, Pierre Drossart, Paul Eccleston +347
The discovery of almost 2000 exoplanets has revealed an unexpectedly diverse planet population. Observations to date have shown that our Solar System is certainly not representativ…
Effects of Initial Flow on Close-In Planet Atmospheric Circulation
Heidar Th. Thrastarson, James Y-K. Cho
We use a general circulation model to study the three-dimensional (3-D) flow and temperature distributions of atmospheres on tidally synchronized extrasolar planets. In this work,…
