On Signatures of Atmospheric Features in Thermal Phase Curves of Hot Jupiters
Emily Rauscher, Kristen Menou, James Y-K. Cho +2
Turbulence is ubiquitous in Solar System planetary atmospheres. In hot Jupiter atmospheres, the combination of moderately slow rotation and thick pressure scale height may result i…
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…
Hot Jupiter Variability in Eclipse Depth
Emily Rauscher, Kristen Menou, James Y-K. Cho +2
Physical conditions in the atmospheres of tidally-locked, slowly-rotating hot Jupiters correspond to dynamical circulation regimes with Rhines scales and Rossby deformation radii c…
Toward Eclipse Mapping of Hot Jupiters
Emily Rauscher, Kristen Menou, Sara Seager +3
Recent Spitzer infrared measurements of hot Jupiter eclipses suggest that eclipse mapping techniques could be used to spatially resolve the day-side photospheric emission of these…
The phase-dependent Infrared brightness of the extrasolar planet upsilon Andromedae b
J. Harrington, B. Hansen, S. Luszcz +5
The star upsilon Andromeda is orbited by three known planets, the innermost of which has an orbital period of 4.617 days and a mass at least 0.69 that of Jupiter. This planet is cl…
Atmospheric Circulation of Close-In Extrasolar Giant Planets: I. Global, Barotropic, Adiabatic Simulations
James Y-K. Cho, Kristen Menou, Brad Hansen +1
We present results from a set of over 300 pseudospectral simulations of atmospheric circulation on extrasolar giant planets with circular orbits. The simulations are of high enough…
