Cloud and ammonia vertical profiles in the equatorial atmosphere of Jupiter determined from visible to near-IR observations made by VLT/MUSE, Cassini/VIMS, IRTF/SpeX and Juno/JIRAM
Patrick G. J. Irwin, Asier Anguiano-Arteaga, Michelle Colantoni +8
We present a combined cloud/ammonia model for Jupiter's equatorial atmosphere from 0.1 to 10 bar, consistent with observations made at a range of observation geometries from 0.35 t…
Limb Asymmetries on WASP-39b: A Multi-GCM Comparison of Chemistry, Clouds, and Hazes
Maria E. Steinrueck, Arjun B. Savel, Duncan A. Christie +27
With JWST, observing separate spectra of the morning and evening limbs of hot Jupiters has finally become a reality. The first such observation was reported for WASP-39b, where the…
Out on a Limb: The Signatures of East-West Asymmetries in Transmission Spectra from General Circulation Models
Kenneth E. Arnold, Arjun B. Savel, Eliza M. -R. Kempton +5
In the era of JWST, observations of hot Jupiter atmospheres are becoming increasingly precise. As a result, the signature of limb asymmetries due to temperature or abundance differ…
The radiative effects of photochemical hazes on the atmospheric circulation and phase curves of sub-Neptunes
Maria E. Steinrueck, Vivien Parmentier, Laura Kreidberg +13
Measuring the atmospheric composition of hazy sub-Neptunes like GJ~1214b through transmission spectroscopy is difficult because of the degeneracy between mean molecular weight and…
Radiatively Active Clouds and Magnetic Effects Explored in a Grid of Hot Jupiter GCMs
Thomas D. Kennedy, Emily Rauscher, Isaac Malsky +2
Cloud formation and magnetic effects are both expected to significantly impact the structures and observable properties of hot Jupiter atmospheres. For some hot Jupiters, thermal i…
