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…

Ocean Tides on Asynchronously Rotating Planets Orbiting Low-mass Stars
Jiaru Shi, Jun Yang, Dorian S. Abbot +3
Planets in the liquid-water habitable zone of low-mass stars experience large tidal forces, to times those on Earth, due to the small distance between the habitable z…
