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…
