Westward hotspot offset explained by subcritical dynamo action in an ultra-hot Jupiter atmosphere
Vincent G. A. Böning, Wieland Dietrich, Johannes Wicht
Hot Jupiters are tidally-locked Jupiter-sized planets close to their host star. They have equilibrium temperatures above about 1000 K. Photometric observations find that the hotspo…
