Simulations of Water Vapor and Clouds on Rapidly Rotating and Tidally Locked Planets: a 3D Model Intercomparison
Jun Yang, Jeremy Leconte, Eric T. Wolf +4
Robustly modeling the inner edge of the habitable zone is essential for determining the most promising potentially habitable exoplanets for atmospheric characterization. Global cli…
Clouds will likely prevent the detection of water vapor in JWST transmission spectra of terrestrial exoplanets
Thaddeus D. Komacek, Thomas J. Fauchez, Eric T. Wolf +1
We are on the verge of characterizing the atmospheres of terrestrial exoplanets in the habitable zones of M dwarf stars. Due to their large planet-to-star radius ratios and higher…
No Snowball on Habitable Tidally Locked Planets with a Dynamic Ocean
Jade H. Checlair, Stephanie L. Olson, Malte F. Jansen +1
Terrestrial planets orbiting within the habitable zones of M-stars are likely to become tidally locked in a 1:1 spin:orbit configuration and are prime targets for future characteri…
The Snowball Stratosphere
R. J. Graham, Tiffany Shaw, Dorian Abbot
According to the Snowball Earth hypothesis, Earth has experienced periods of low-latitude glaciation in its deep past. Prior studies have used general circulation models (GCMs) to…
Oceanographic Considerations for Exoplanet Life Detection
Stephanie L. Olson, Malte Jansen, Dorian S. Abbot
Liquid water oceans are at the center of our search for life on exoplanets because water is a strict requirement for life as we know it. However, oceans are dynamic habitats---and…
Scaling Relations for Terrestrial Exoplanet Atmospheres from Baroclinic Criticality
Thaddeus D. Komacek, Malte F. Jansen, Eric T. Wolf +1
The macroturbulent atmospheric circulation of Earth-like planets mediates their equator-to-pole heat transport. For fast-rotating terrestrial planets, baroclinic instabilities in t…
