Sensitivity and Variability Redux in Hot-Jupiter Flow Simulations

J. Y-K. Cho, I. Polichtchouk, H. Th. Thrastarson

We revisit the issue of sensitivity to initial flow and intrinsic variability in hot-Jupiter atmospheric flow simulations, originally investigated by Cho et al. (2008) and Thrastar…

The EChO science case

Giovanna Tinetti, Pierre Drossart, Paul Eccleston +347

The discovery of almost 2000 exoplanets has revealed an unexpectedly diverse planet population. Observations to date have shown that our Solar System is certainly not representativ…

Intercomparison of General Circulation Models for Hot Extrasolar Planets

Inna Polichtchouk, James Y-K. Cho, Chris Watkins +3

We compare five general circulation models (GCMs) which have been recently used to study hot extrasolar planet atmospheres (BOB, CAM, IGCM, MITgcm, and PEQMOD), under three test ca…

Baroclinic Instability on Hot Extrasolar Planets

Inna Polichtchouk, James Y-K. Cho

We investigate baroclinic instability in flow conditions relevant to hot extrasolar planets. The instability is important for transporting and mixing heat, as well as for influenci…

Methane in the atmosphere of the transiting hot Neptune GJ436b?

J. -P. Beaulieu, G. Tinetti, D. M. Kipping +14

We present an analysis of seven primary transit observations of the hot Neptune GJ436b at 3.6, 4.5 and m obtained with the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) on the Spitzer Space Te…
