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…

Atmospheric Circulation of High-Obliquity Mini-Neptunes
Yanhong Lai, Xianyu Tan, Yubo Su
With the operation of JWST, atmospheric characterization has now extended to low-mass exoplanets. In compact multiplanetary systems, secular spin-orbital resonance may preserve hig…
