Meridional circulation molecular-weighted
Deepayan Banik, Kristen Menou, Evan H. Anders
Meridional circulation in stratified stellar/planetary interiors in the presence of stable molecular weight gradients remains poorly understood, thereby affecting angular momentum…

Coupled shape and spin evolution of small near spherical asteroids due to global regolith motion
Kumar Gaurav, Deepayan Banik, Ishan Sharma
Recent space missions have provided substantial evidence of regolith movement on the surfaces of near Earth asteroids. To investigate this phenomenon, we present a continuum-based…

Planetary Rhythms: Synchronous Circulation on Variably Irradiated Asynchronous Planets
Deepayan Banik
Tidal locking of planets to their host stars results in an atmospheric circulation with a hotspot fixed to the frame of reference of the planet. On the other hand, asynchronously r…
