Reconciling Jupiter's Vertical Motions with the Observed Cloud Structure in the Upper Troposphere
João M. Mendonça, Tapio Schneider, Junjun Liu +1
The eddy fluxes of angular momentum in Jupiter's upper troposphere are known to converge in prograde jets and diverge in retrograde jets. Away from the equator, this implies conver…
Stellar Contamination Correction Using Back-to-Back Transits of TRAPPIST-1 b and c
Alexander D. Rathcke, Lars A. Buchhave, Julien De Wit +8
Stellar surface heterogeneities, such as spots and faculae, often contaminate exoplanet transit spectra, hindering precise atmospheric characterization. We demonstrate a novel, epo…
Three-Dimensional Venus Cloud Structure Simulated by a General Circulation Model
Wencheng D. Shao, João M. Mendonça, Longkang Dai
The clouds have a great impact on Venus's energy budget and climate evolution, but its three-dimensional structure is still not well understood. Here we incorporate a simple Venus…
Two-Dimensional Eclipse Mapping of the Hot Jupiter WASP-43b with JWST MIRI/LRS
Mark Hammond, Taylor J. Bell, Ryan C. Challener +21
We present eclipse maps of the two-dimensional thermal emission from the dayside of the hot Jupiter WASP-43b, derived from an observation of a phase curve with the JWST MIRI/LRS in…
