Atmospheric circulation of hot Jupiters: Coupled radiative-dynamical general circulation model simulations of HD 189733b and HD 209458b
Adam P. Showman, Jonathan J. Fortney, Yuan Lian +4
We present global, three-dimensional numerical simulations of HD 189733b and HD 209458b that couple the atmospheric dynamics to a realistic representation of non-gray cloud-free ra…
Atmospheric Circulation of Hot Jupiters: Three-dimensional circulation models of HD 209458b and HD 189733b with Simplified Forcing
Adam P. Showman, Curtis S. Cooper, Jonathan J. Fortney +1
We present global, three-dimensional numerical simulations of the atmospheric circulation on HD 209458b and HD 189733b and calculate the infrared spectra and light curves predicted…
Multi-Wavelength Constraints on the Day-Night Circulation Patterns of HD 189733b
Heather A. Knutson, David Charbonneau, Nicolas B. Cowan +6
We present new Spitzer observations of the phase variation of the hot Jupiter HD 189733b in the MIPS 24 micron bandpass, spanning the same part of the planet's orbit as our previou…
Atmospheric Circulation of Hot Jupiters: A Review of Current Understanding
Adam P. Showman, Kristen Menou, James Y-K. Cho
Hot Jupiters are new laboratories for the physics of giant planet atmospheres. Subject to unusual forcing conditions, the circulation regime on these planets may be unlike anything…
Atmospheric dynamics of Pegasi planets
Adam P. Showman, Curtis S. Cooper
We present three-dimensional numerical simulations of the atmospheric dynamics of close-orbiting planets such as HD209458b. Our simulations show that winds of several km/sec and da…
A map of the day-night contrast of the extrasolar planet HD 189733b
Heather A. Knutson, David Charbonneau, Lori E. Allen +6
"Hot Jupiter" extrasolar planets are expected to be tidally locked because they are close (<0.05 astronomical units, where 1 AU is the average Sun-Earth distance) to their parent s…
