Irradiated Atmospheres VII. Effect of Mixing Energy Flux on Atmosphere-Interior Coupling
Wei Zhong, Zhen-Tai Zhang, Mei Ting Mark +6
Highly irradiated, underdense rocky planets such as puffy Venuses may host strong coupling between their atmospheres and magma-ocean interiors. Previous studies have mainly treated…
Irradiated Atmosphere V: Effects of Vertical-Mixing induced Energy Transport on the Inhomogeneity
Wei Zhong, Zhen-Tai Zhang, Bo Ma +3
Atmospheric variations over time and space boost planetary cooling, as outgoing internal flux responds to stellar radiation and opacity. Vertical mixing regulates this cooling. Our…
Irradiated Atmospheres IV: Effect of Mixing Heat Flux on Chemistry
Zhen-Tai Zhang, Wei Zhong, Wei Wang +5
Vertical mixing disrupts the thermochemical equilibrium and introduces additional heat flux that alters exoplanetary atmospheric temperatures. We investigate how this mixing-induce…
Irradiated Atmospheres III : Radiative-Convective-Mixing Equilibrium for Non-Grey Picket-Fence Model
Wei Zhong, Zhen-Tai Zhang, Bo Ma +3
The non-grey picket-fence model predicts more accurately the temperatures in low-density regions compared to semi-grey models. This study investigates how the vertical mixing and c…
Irradiated Atmospheres II: Interplay Between Scattering and Vertical-Mixing induced Energy Transport
Zhen-Tai Zhang, Wei Zhong, Xianyu Tan +3
The scattering is crucial for the atmospheric thermal profiles. The energy transport by the vertical mixing plays an essential role for the greenhouse or anti-greenhouse effect. Th…
Irradiated Atmospheres I: Heating by Vertical-Mixing Induced Energy Transport
Wei Zhong, Zhen-Tai Zhang, Hui-Sheng Zhong +3
Observations have revealed unique temperature profiles in hot Jupiter atmospheres. We propose that the energy transport by vertical mixing could lead to such thermal features. In o…
The Impact-driven Atmospheric Loss of Super-Earths around Different Spectral Type Host Stars
Wei Zhong, Cong Yu, Shi Jia +1
The planet's mass loss is important for the planet's formation and evolution. The radius valley (RV) is believed to be triggered by evaporation-induced mass loss. As an alternative…
Effects of Self-gravity on Mass-loss of the Post-impact Super-Earths
Jiang Huang, Wei Zhong, Cong Yu
Kepler's observations show most of the exoplanets are super-Earths. The formation of super-Earth is generally related to the atmospheric mass loss that is crucial in the planetary…
