3D modeling of GJ1214b's atmosphere: formation of inhomogeneous high clouds and observational implications
Benjamin Charnay, Victoria Meadows, Amit Misra +2
The warm sub-Neptune GJ1214b has a featureless transit spectrum which may be due to the presence of high and thick clouds or haze. Here, we simulate the atmosphere of GJ1214b with…
3D modeling of GJ1214b's atmosphere: vertical mixing driven by an anti-Hadley circulation
Benjamin Charnay, Victoria Meadows, Jérémy Leconte
GJ1214b is a warm sub-Neptune transiting in front of a nearby M dwarf star. Recent observations indicate the presence of high and thick clouds or haze whose presence requires stron…
Mercury-T: A new code to study tidally evolving multi-planet systems. Applications to Kepler-62
Emeline Bolmont, Sean N. Raymond, Jeremy Leconte +2
A large proportion of observed planetary systems contain several planets in a compact orbital configuration, and often harbor at least one close-in object. These systems are then m…
Asynchronous rotation of Earth-mass planets in the habitable zone of lower-mass stars
Jérémy Leconte, Hanbo Wu, Kristen Menou +1
Planets in the habitable zone of lower-mass stars are often assumed to be in a state of tidally synchronized rotation, which would considerably affect their putative habitability.…
The EChO science case
Giovanna Tinetti, Pierre Drossart, Paul Eccleston +347
The discovery of almost 2000 exoplanets has revealed an unexpectedly diverse planet population. Observations to date have shown that our Solar System is certainly not representativ…
