Temperature-chemistry coupling in the evolution of gas giant atmospheres driven by stellar flares
Harrison Nicholls, Eric Hébrard, Olivia Venot +2
The effect of enhanced UV irradiation associated with stellar flares on the atmospheric composition and temperature of gas giant exoplanets was investigated. This was done using a…
A modern-day Mars climate in the Met Office Unified Model: dry simulations
Danny McCulloch, Denis E. Sergeev, Nathan Mayne +5
We present results from the Met Office Unified Model (UM), a world-leading climate and weather model, adapted to simulate a dry Martian climate. We detail the adaptation of the bas…
Observability of signatures of transport-induced chemistry in clear atmospheres of hot gas giant exoplanets
Maria Zamyatina, Éric Hébrard, Benjamin Drummond +6
Transport-induced quenching, i.e., the homogenisation of chemical abundances by atmospheric advection, is thought to occur in the atmospheres of hot gas giant exoplanets. While som…
3D modelling of the impact of stellar activity on tidally locked terrestrial exoplanets: atmospheric composition and habitability
Robert J. Ridgway, Maria Zamyatina, Nathan J. Mayne +7
Stellar flares present challenges to the potential habitability of terrestrial planets orbiting M dwarf stars through inducing changes in the atmospheric composition and irradiatin…
The Impact of Mixing Treatments on Cloud Modelling in 3D Simulations of Hot Jupiters
D. A. Christie, N. J. Mayne, S. Lines +7
We present results of 3D hydrodynamical simulations of HD209458b including a coupled, radiatively-active cloud model ({\sc EddySed}). We investigate the role of the mixing by repla…
Ground-Based Transmission Spectroscopy with VLT FORS2: Evidence for faculae and clouds in the optical spectrum of the warm Saturn WASP-110b
Nikolay Nikolov, Gracjan Maciejewski, Savvas Constantinou +12
We present a ground-based optical transmission spectrum for the warm Saturn-mass exoplanet WASP-110b from two transit observations made with the FOcal Reducer and Spectrograph (FOR…
