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

Bistability, Oscillations, and Multistability on Hycean Planets
The Astrophysical JournalHycean planets are hypothetical exoplanets characterized by H _2 O oceans and H _2 -rich atmospheres. These planets are high-priority targets for biosignature searches, as they combine abundant surface liquid water with easy-to-characterize H _2 -rich ...

Blowin’ in the Nonisothermal Wind: Core-powered Mass Loss with Hydrodynamic Radiative Transfer
The Astrophysical JournalThe mass loss rates of planets undergoing core-powered escape are usually modeled using an isothermal Parker-type wind at the equilibrium temperature, T _eq .

The Radius Cliff is a Waterfall: Explaining Sub-Neptune Exoplanets with Steam Worlds
The Astrophysical JournalThe demographics of Kepler planets provide a key testbed for models of planet formation and evolution, particularly for explaining the radius valley separating super-Earths and sub-Neptunes.

The Asymmetric Limbs of HD 209458 b Observed with JWST NIRCam F322W2/F444W
The Astrophysical Journal LettersWe present a reanalysis of JWST NIRCam F322W2/F444W transit observations of the hot Jupiter HD 209458 b to extract morning and evening transmission spectra. To determine whether asymmetries in the transit light curves arise from atmospheric structure, we

Irradiated Atmospheres. IV. Effect of Mixing Heat Flux on Chemistry
The Astrophysical JournalVertical mixing disrupts the thermochemical equilibrium and introduces additional heat flux that alters exoplanetary atmospheric temperatures. We investigate how this mixing-induced heat flux affects atmospheric chemistry.
