Exoplanet winds: Modelling atmospheric dynamics via resolved spectral lines
, 2021 This thesis benchmarked a new probe of atmospheric dynamics in exoplanet atmospheres by resolving the spectral lines stemming from these far atmospheres and then modelling their line shape taking into account the broadening from atmospheric winds. This gives us a window into atmospheric winds for these far away worlds only limited by the depths of the ...

General circulation modelling of close-in extrasolar giant planets [PDF]
, 2011 PhDA large fraction of the extrasolar planets detected so far are giant planets that have such short orbital periods (a few days) that they are thought to be tidally-synchronised with the host star. Such orbits lead to permanent day/night sides on the

Atmospheric circulation of tidally locked exoplanets: a suite of benchmark tests for dynamical solvers [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2010 The complexity of atmospheric modelling and its inherent non-linearity, together with the limited amount of data of exoplanets available, motivate model intercomparisons and benchmark tests. In the geophysical community, the Held-Suarez test is a standard benchmark for comparing dynamical core simulations of the Earth's atmosphere with different ...

Atmospheric Dynamics of Hot Exoplanets [PDF]
Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2015 The characterization of exoplanetary atmospheres has come of age in the past decade, as astronomical techniques now allow for albedos, chemical abundances, temperature profiles and maps, rotation periods, and even wind speeds to be measured. Atmospheric dynamics sets the background state of density, temperature, and velocity that determines or ...

Effects of Bulk Composition on the Atmospheric Dynamics on Close-in Exoplanets [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2017 Abstract Super Earths and mini Neptunes likely have a wide range of atmospheric compositions, ranging from low molecular mass atmospheres of H2 to higher molecular atmospheres of water, CO2, N2, or other species. Here we systematically investigate the effects of atmospheric bulk compositions on temperature and wind distributions for ...

DIRECT MEASURE OF RADIATIVE AND DYNAMICAL PROPERTIES OF AN EXOPLANET ATMOSPHERE [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2016 ABSTRACT Two decades after the discovery of 51 Peg b, the formation processes and atmospheres of short-period gas giants remain poorly understood. Observations of eccentric systems provide key insights on those topics as they can illuminate how a planet’s atmosphere responds to changes in incident flux.

ATMOSPHERIC DYNAMICS OF TERRESTRIAL EXOPLANETS OVER A WIDE RANGE OF ORBITAL AND ATMOSPHERIC PARAMETERS [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2015 The recent discoveries of terrestrial exoplanets and super-Earths extending over a broad range of orbital and physical parameters suggest that these planets will span a wide range of climatic regimes. Characterization of the atmospheres of warm super-Earths has already begun and will be extended to smaller and more distant planets over the coming ...

Atmospheres on Nonsynchronized Eccentric-tilted Exoplanets. I. Dynamical Regimes [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2019 Abstract Relatively long-period, nonsynchronized planets—such as warm Jupiters—potentially retain the primordial rotation, eccentricity, and obliquity that might encapsulate information on planetary climate and formation processes. To date, there has not been a systematic study on climate patterns on these planets that will significantly
