Limited Hysteresis in the Atmospheric Dynamics of Hot Jupiters

The Astrophysical Journal
Over the past two decades, a coherent picture has emerged of the atmospheric dynamics of hot Jupiters from a combination of three-dimensional general circulation models and astronomical observations.

Tropical Cyclones on Tidally Locked Rocky Planets: Dependence on Rotation Period

The Astrophysical Journal
Tropical cyclones occur over the Earth’s tropical oceans, with characteristic genesis regions and tracks tied to the warm ocean surface that provide energy to sustain these storms.

3D Modeling of Moist Convective Inhibition in Idealized Sub-Neptune Atmospheres

The Astrophysical Journal
Atmospheric convection behaves differently in hydrogen-rich atmospheres compared to higher mean molecular weight atmospheres due to compositional gradients of tracers.

Exoplanet Atmospheres at High Spectral Resolution

Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics
High-resolution spectroscopy (HRS) has grown into one of the main techniques for characterizing the atmospheres of extrasolar planets. High spectral resolving power allows for the efficient removal of telluric and host-star contamination. Combined with the large collecting area of ground-based telescopes, it enables detailed studies of atmospheric ...

Towards Atmospheric Characterisation of Exoplanets

, 2014
This thesis provides a multi-pronged approach towards paving the way for future space and ground based exoplanet characterisation e↵orts as well as providing new analysis of the atmosphere of the exoplanet HD 179949 b. This is done, firstly, by outlining engineering trade studies conducted for the attitude and orbit control system (AOCS) and sun shield

A Comprehensive Analysis of Spitzer 4.5 μm Phase Curves of Hot Jupiters

The Astronomical Journal
Although exoplanetary science was not initially projected to be a substantial part of the Spitzer mission, its exoplanet observations set the stage for current and future surveys with JWST and Ariel.
