Upper atmospheres and ionospheres of planets and satellites
Antonio García Muñoz, Tommi T. Koskinen, Panayotis Lavvas
The upper atmospheres of the planets and their satellites are more directly exposed to sunlight and solar wind particles than the surface or the deeper atmospheric layers. At the a…
Hubble PanCET: An isothermal day-side atmosphere for the bloated gas-giant HAT-P-32Ab
N. Nikolov, D. K. Sing, J. Goyal +20
We present a thermal emission spectrum of the bloated hot Jupiter HAT-P-32Ab from a single eclipse observation made in spatial scan mode with the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) aboard…
Exoplanet phase curves at large phase angles. Diagnostics for extended hazy atmospheres
A. García Muñoz, J. Cabrera
At optical wavelengths, Titan's brightness for large Sun-Titan-observer phase angles significantly exceeds its dayside brightness. The brightening that occurs near back-illuminatio…
Transmission spectroscopy of the hot Jupiter TrES-3 b: Disproof of an overly large Rayleigh-like feature
F. Mackebrandt, M. Mallonn, J. M. Ohlert +9
Context. Transit events of extrasolar planets offer the opportunity to study the composition of their atmospheres. Previous work on transmission spectroscopy of the close-in gas gi…
An ultrahot gas-giant exoplanet with a stratosphere
Thomas M. Evans, David K. Sing, Tiffany Kataria +24
Infrared radiation emitted from a planet contains information about the chemical composition and vertical temperature profile of its atmosphere. If upper layers are cooler than low…
Stationary waves and slowly moving features in the night upper clouds of Venus
J. Peralta, R. Hueso, A. Sánchez-Lavega +9
At the cloud top level of Venus (65-70 km altitude) the atmosphere rotates 60 times faster than the underlying surface, a phenomenon known as superrotation. Whereas on Venus's days…
