Water Trapping on Tidally Locked Terrestrial Planets Requires Special Conditions
Jun Yang, Yonggang Liu, Yongyun Hu +1
Surface liquid water is essential for standard planetary habitability. Calculations of atmospheric circulation on tidally locked planets around M stars suggest that this peculiar o…

Strong Dependence of the Inner Edge of the Habitable Zone on Planetary Rotation Rate
Jun Yang, Gwenael Boue, Daniel C. Fabrycky +1
Planetary rotation rate is a key parameter in determining atmospheric circulation and hence the spatial pattern of clouds. Since clouds can exert a dominant control on planetary ra…

A Low-order Model of Water Vapor, Clouds, and Thermal Emission for Tidally Locked Terrestrial Planets
Jun Yang, Dorian S. Abbot
In the spirit of minimal modeling of complex systems, we develop an idealized two-column model to investigate the climate of tidally locked terrestrial planets with Earth-like atmo…
