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.

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Photochemical hazes are expected to form in hot Jupiter atmospheres and may explain the strong scattering slopes and muted spectral features observed in the transmission spectra of many hot Jupiters.

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

Exploring the Atmospheric Dynamics of the Extreme Ultrahot Jupiter KELT-9b Using TESS Photometry [PDF]
Astronomical Journal, 2019 We carry out a phase-curve analysis of the KELT-9 system using photometric observations from NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). The measured secondary eclipse depth and peak-to-peak atmospheric brightness modulation are and 566 ± 16 ppm,

Atmospheric Dynamics on Terrestrial Planets: The Seasonal Response to Changes in Orbital, Rotational, and Radiative Timescales [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2019 Thousands of exoplanets have been detected to date, and with future planned missions this tally will increase. Understanding the climate dependence on the planetary parameters is vital for the study of terrestrial exoplanet habitability.

Traveling Planetary-scale Waves Cause Cloud Variability on Tidally Locked Aquaplanets
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Cloud cover at the planetary limb of water-rich Earth-like planets is likely to weaken chemical signatures in transmission spectra, impeding attempts to characterize these atmospheres.

Dynamics and Clouds in Planetary Atmospheres from Telescopic Observations [PDF]
Astron Astrophys Rev 31, 5 (2023), 2023 This review presents an insight into our current knowledge of the atmospheres of the planets Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, the satellite Titan, and those of exoplanets. It deals with the thermal structure, aerosol properties (hazes and clouds, dust in the case of Mars), chemical composition, global winds and selected dynamical ...

A Radiative-convective Model for Terrestrial Planets with Self-consistent Patchy Clouds
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Clouds are ubiquitous: they arise for every solar system planet that possesses an atmosphere and have also been suggested as a leading mechanism for obscuring spectral features in exoplanet observations.
