Comet-like tails of disintegrating exoplanets explained by escaping outflows emanated from the permanent nightside: day-side versus night-side escape
Wanying Kang, Feng Ding, Robin Wordsworth +1
Ultra-hot disintegrating exoplanets have been detected with tails trailing behind and/or shooting ahead of them. These tails are believed to be made of dusts that are carried upwar…
Extremely long convergence times in a 3D GCM simulation of the sub-Neptune Gliese 1214b
Huize Wang, Robin Wordsworth
We present gray gas general circulation model (GCM) simulations of the tidally locked mini-Neptune GJ 1214b. On timescales of 1,000-10,000 Earth days, our results are comparable to…
Earths polar night boundary layer as an analogue for dark side inversions on synchronously rotating terrestrial exoplanets
Manoj Joshi, Andrew Elvidge, Robin Wordsworth +1
A key factor in determining the potential habitability of synchronously rotating planets is the strength of the atmospheric boundary layer inversion between the dark side surface a…
Stabilization of dayside surface liquid water via tropopause cold trapping on arid slowly rotating tidally locked planets
Feng Ding, Robin D. Wordsworth
Terrestrial-type exoplanets orbiting nearby red dwarf stars (M-dwarfs) are among the best targets for atmospheric characterization and biosignature searches in the near future. Rec…
