Atmospheric circulation of exoplanets
地球与行星物理论评, 2023 To date, more than 5000 exoplanets and more than 2000 brown dwarfs have been confirmed, which shows rich diversities in many aspects. With the rapid growth of the planet family, both observational and theoretical research on exoplanet atmosphere is ...

Sporadic Spin-orbit Variations in Compact Multiplanet Systems and Their Influence on Exoplanet Climate [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 Climate modeling has shown that tidally influenced terrestrial exoplanets, particularly those orbiting M-dwarfs, have unique atmospheric dynamics and surface conditions that may enhance their likelihood to host viable habitats.

A new set of atmosphere and evolution models for cool T–Y brown dwarfs and giant exoplanets [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2020 We present a new set of solar metallicity atmosphere and evolutionary models for very cool brown dwarfs and self-luminous giant exoplanets, which we term ATMO 2020. Atmosphere models are generated with our state-of-the-art 1D radiative-convective equilibrium code ATMO, and are used as surface boundary conditions to calculate the interior structure and ...

Self-consistent simulation of photoelectrons in exoplanet winds: Faster ionisation and weaker mass-loss rates [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2023 Planetary mass loss is governed by several physical mechanisms, including photoionisation that may impact the evolution of the atmosphere. Stellar radiation energy deposited as heat depends strongly on the energy of the primary electrons following ...

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.

A Mirage of the Cosmic Shoreline: Venus-like Clouds as a Statistical False Positive for Exoplanet Atmospheric Erosion [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2019 Near-term studies of Venus-like atmospheres with James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) promise to advance our knowledge of terrestrial planet evolution. However, the remote study of Venus in the solar system and the ongoing efforts to characterize gaseous ...

NIGHT: a compact, near-infrared, high-resolution spectrograph to survey helium in exoplanet systems [PDF]
, 2023 Among highly irradiated exoplanets, some have been found to undergo significant hydrodynamic expansion traced by atmospheric escape. To better understand these processes in the context of planetary evolution, we propose NIGHT (the Near-Infrared Gatherer ...

Zodiacal exoplanets in time – XIII. Planet orbits and atmospheres in the V1298 Tau system, a keystone in studies of early planetary evolution [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2021 ABSTRACT Studies of planetary systems of stars in star-forming regions and young clusters open a window on the formative stages of planetary evolution. We obtained high-cadence high-resolution infrared spectroscopy of the solar-mass Taurus association-member V1298 Tau during a transit of its 10R⊕-size ‘b’ planet. We measured the systemic

The Inhomogeneity Effect. III. Weather Impacts on the Heat Flow of Hot Jupiters
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The interior flux of a giant planet impacts atmospheric motion, and the atmosphere dictates the interior’s cooling. Here we use a non-hydrostatic general circulation model (Simulating Non-hydrostatic Atmospheres on Planets) coupled with a multi-stream ...
