The Hunt for Planet Nine: Atmosphere, Spectra, Evolution, and Detectability
Jonathan J. Fortney, Mark S. Marley, Gregory Laughlin +7
We investigate the physical characteristics of the Solar System's proposed Planet Nine using modeling tools with a heritage in studying Uranus and Neptune. For a range of plausible…
The atmospheric circulation of a nine-hot Jupiter sample: Probing circulation and chemistry over a wide phase space
Tiffany Kataria, David K. Sing, Nikole K. Lewis +4
We present results from an atmospheric circulation study of nine hot Jupiters that comprise a large transmission spectral survey using the Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescopes. Thes…
Atmospheric Chemistry in Giant Planets, Brown Dwarfs, and Low-Mass Dwarf Stars II. Sulfur and Phosphorus
Channon Visscher, Katharina Lodders, Bruce Fegley
Thermochemical equilibrium and kinetic calculations are used to model sulfur and phosphorus chemistry in giant planets, brown dwarfs, and extrasolar giant planets (EGPs). The chemi…
Chemical Constraints on the Water and Total Oxygen Abundances in the Deep Atmosphere of Saturn
Channon Visscher, Bruce Fegley
Thermochemical equilibrium and kinetic calculations for the trace gases CO, PH3, and SiH4 give three independent constraints on the water and total oxygen abundances of Saturn's de…
