Atmospheric Waves Driving Variability and Cloud Modulation on a Planetary-mass Object

The Astrophysical Journal
Planetary-mass objects and brown dwarfs at the transition ( T _eff ∼ 1300 K) from relatively red L dwarfs to bluer mid-T dwarfs show enhanced spectrophotometric variability.

The Polar Vortex Hypothesis: Evolving, Spectrally Distinct Polar Regions Explain Short- and Long-term Light-curve Evolution and Color–Inclination Trends in Brown Dwarfs and Giant Exoplanets

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Recent studies revealed viewing-angle-dependent color and spectral trends in brown dwarfs, as well as long-term photometric variability (∼100 hr). The origins of these trends are yet unexplained.

Planetary Habitability Under the Light of a Rapidly Changing Star

The Astronomical Journal
Planetary atmospheric energy budgets primarily depend on stellar incident flux. However, stellar variability can have major consequences for the evolution of planetary climates. In this work, we evaluate how stellar variability influences the equilibrium

Earth-like Exoplanets in Spin–Orbit Resonances: Climate Dynamics, 3D Atmospheric Chemistry, and Observational Signatures

The Planetary Science Journal
Terrestrial exoplanets around M- and K-type stars are important targets for atmospheric characterization. Such planets are likely tidally locked with the order of spin–orbit resonances (SORs) depending on eccentricity. We explore the impact of SORs on 3D

Pursuing Truth: Improving Retrievals on Mid-infrared Exo-Earth Spectra with Physically Motivated Water Abundance Profiles and Cloud Models

The Astrophysical Journal
Atmospheric retrievals are widely used to constrain exoplanet properties from observed spectra. We investigate how the common nonphysical retrieval assumptions of vertically constant molecule abundances and cloud-free atmospheres affect our ...

Lessons from Hubble and Spitzer: 1D Self-consistent Model Grids for 19 Hot Jupiter Emission Spectra

The Astrophysical Journal
We present a population-level analysis of the dayside thermal emission spectra of 19 planets observed with Hubble WFC3 and Spitzer IRAC 3.6 and 4.5 μ m, spanning equilibrium temperatures 1200–2700 K and 0.7–10.5 Jupiter masses.
