Irradiated Atmosphere V: Effects of Vertical-Mixing induced Energy Transport on the Inhomogeneity
Wei Zhong, Zhen-Tai Zhang, Bo Ma +3
Atmospheric variations over time and space boost planetary cooling, as outgoing internal flux responds to stellar radiation and opacity. Vertical mixing regulates this cooling. Our…
Irradiated Atmospheres IV: Effect of Mixing Heat Flux on Chemistry
Zhen-Tai Zhang, Wei Zhong, Wei Wang +5
Vertical mixing disrupts the thermochemical equilibrium and introduces additional heat flux that alters exoplanetary atmospheric temperatures. We investigate how this mixing-induce…
Irradiated Atmospheres III : Radiative-Convective-Mixing Equilibrium for Non-Grey Picket-Fence Model
Wei Zhong, Zhen-Tai Zhang, Bo Ma +3
The non-grey picket-fence model predicts more accurately the temperatures in low-density regions compared to semi-grey models. This study investigates how the vertical mixing and c…
Irradiated Atmospheres II: Interplay Between Scattering and Vertical-Mixing induced Energy Transport
Zhen-Tai Zhang, Wei Zhong, Xianyu Tan +3
The scattering is crucial for the atmospheric thermal profiles. The energy transport by the vertical mixing plays an essential role for the greenhouse or anti-greenhouse effect. Th…
Irradiated Atmospheres I: Heating by Vertical-Mixing Induced Energy Transport
Wei Zhong, Zhen-Tai Zhang, Hui-Sheng Zhong +3
Observations have revealed unique temperature profiles in hot Jupiter atmospheres. We propose that the energy transport by vertical mixing could lead to such thermal features. In o…
