Atmospheric dynamics and variability of periodically irradiated tidally locked planets

Deepayan Banik, Vasilii Pustovoit, Thaddeus D. Komacek +1

Time-variable stellar heating may create new climate states, such as permanently hot or cold hemispheres, on asynchronous planets. Planets on eccentric orbits, circumbinary planets…

Meridional circulation molecular-weighted

Deepayan Banik, Kristen Menou, Evan H. Anders

Meridional circulation in stratified stellar/planetary interiors in the presence of stable molecular weight gradients remains poorly understood, thereby affecting angular momentum…

Coupled shape and spin evolution of small near spherical asteroids due to global regolith motion

Kumar Gaurav, Deepayan Banik, Ishan Sharma

Recent space missions have provided substantial evidence of regolith movement on the surfaces of near Earth asteroids. To investigate this phenomenon, we present a continuum-based…

Planetary Rhythms: Synchronous Circulation on Variably Irradiated Asynchronous Planets

Deepayan Banik

Tidal locking of planets to their host stars results in an atmospheric circulation with a hotspot fixed to the frame of reference of the planet. On the other hand, asynchronously r…

Meridional Circulation Streamlined

Deepayan Banik, Kristen Menou

Time-dependent meridional circulation and differential rotation in radiative zones are central open issues in stellar evolution theory. We streamline this challenging problem using…
