Direct imaging and spectroscopy of exoplanets with the ELT/HARMONI high-contrast module
Mathis Houllé, Arthur Vigan, Alexis Carlotti +9
Combining high-contrast imaging with medium-resolution spectroscopy has been shown to significantly boost the direct detection of exoplanets. HARMONI, one of the first-light instru…
Idealised simulations of the deep atmosphere of hot jupiters: Deep, hot, adiabats as a robust solution to the radius inflation problem
F. Sainsbury-Martinez, P. Wang, S. Fromang +10
Context: The anomalously large radii of hot Jupiters has long been a mystery. However, by combining both theoretical arguments and 2D models, a recent study has suggested that the…
The Acceleration of Superrotation in Simulated Hot Jupiter Atmospheres
Florian Debras, Nathan Mayne, Isabelle Baraffe +5
Context. Atmospheric superrotating flows at the equator are an almost ubiquitous result of simulations of hot Jupiters, and a theory explaining how this zonally coherent flow reach…
Eigenvectors, Circulation and Linear Instabilities for Planetary Science in 3 Dimensions (ECLIPS3D)
Florian Debras, Nathan Mayne, Isabelle Baraffe +2
Context. The study of linear waves and instabilities is necessary to understand the physical evolution of an atmosphere, and can provide physical interpretation of the complex flow…
ESA Voyage 2050 White Paper: Detecting life outside our solar system with a large high-contrast-imaging mission
Ignas Snellen, Simon Albrecht, Guillem Anglada-Escude +64
In this white paper, we recommend the European Space Agency plays a proactive role in developing a global collaborative effort to construct a large high-contrast imaging space tele…
Thermo-compositional diabatic convection in the atmospheres of brown dwarfs and in Earth's atmosphere and oceans
P. Tremblin, T. Padioleau, M. Phillips +12
By generalizing the theory of convection to any type of thermal and compositional source terms (diabatic processes), we show that thermohaline convection in Earth oceans, fingering…
