Three-Dimensional Ocean Dynamics and Detectability of Tidally Locked Lava Worlds
Yanhong Lai, Wanying Kang, Jun Yang +1
Tidally locked lava planets are hot, rocky worlds on close-in orbits with a permanent molten dayside. With JWST, their surfaces and atmospheres are beginning to be revealed. This w…
Ocean Circulation on Tide-locked Lava Worlds: 3D Modeling with a Simple Boundary Iteration Method
Jun Yang, Chengyao Tang, Zimu Wang +2
Tide-locked lava worlds are surface-melted rocky planets under 1:1 tidally locked orbit (i.e., synchronously rotating) with orbital period being equal to rotation period and with p…
Ocean Tides on Asynchronously Rotating Planets Orbiting Low-mass Stars
Jiaru Shi, Jun Yang, Dorian S. Abbot +3
Planets in the liquid-water habitable zone of low-mass stars experience large tidal forces, to times those on Earth, due to the small distance between the habitable z…
Ocean Circulation on Tide-locked Lava Worlds, Part I: An Idealized 2D Numerical Model
Yanhong Lai, Jun Yang, Wanying Kang
A magma ocean is expected to exist on the dayside of tide-locked planets if surface temperature exceeds the melting temperature of typical crust. As highly prioritized targets for…
Ocean Circulation on Tide-locked Lava Worlds, Part II: Scalings
Yanhong Lai, Wanying Kang, Jun Yang
On tidally locked lava planets, magma ocean can form on the permanent dayside. The circulation of the magma ocean can be driven by stellar radiation and atmospheric winds. The stre…
