Dynamics of co-orbital exoplanets in a first-order resonance chain with tidal dissipation [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2022 Co-orbital planets (in a 1: 1 mean motion resonance) can be formed within a Laplace resonance chain. We develop a secular model tc study the dynamics of the resonance chain p: p : p + 1, where the co-orbital pair is in a first-order mean motion resonance with the outermost third planet.

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 ...

Simultaneous Infrared Observations of the Jovian Auroral Ionosphere and Thermosphere. [PDF]
J Geophys Res Space PhysAbstract Simultaneous observations of H3+ ${\mathrm{H}}_{3}^{+}$ and H2 ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}$ in Jupiter's northern infrared aurora were conducted on 02 June 2017 using Keck‐NIRSPEC to produce polar projection maps of H3+ ${\mathrm{H}}_{3}^{+}$ radiance, rotational temperature, column density, and H2 ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}$ radiance. The temperature variations

The Dynamics-Based Approach to Studying Terrestrial Exoplanets
, 2007 One of the great quests of astronomy is to obtain the spectrum of a terrestrial planet orbiting within the habitable zone of its star, and the dominant challenge in doing so is to isolate the light of the planet from that of the star. Dynamics-based methods separate these signals temporally, whereas imaging techniques do so spatially.

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 ...

Evidence for Low-level Dynamical Excitation in Near-resonant Exoplanet Systems
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 The geometries of near-resonant planetary systems offer a relatively pristine window into the initial conditions of exoplanet systems. Given that near-resonant systems have likely experienced minimal dynamical disruptions, the spin–orbit orientations of ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2023 Nonlinearity in photochemical systems is known to allow self-sustained oscillations, but they have received little attention in studies of planetary atmospheres. Here, we present a unique, self-oscillatory solution for ozone chemistry of an exoplanet from a numerical simulation using a fully coupled, three-dimensional (3D) atmospheric chemistry ...

Evolution of Planetary Obliquity: The Eccentric Kozai–Lidov Mechanism Coupled with Tide
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Planetary obliquity plays a significant role in determining the physical properties of planetary surfaces and climate. As direct detection is constrained due to the present observation accuracy, kinetic theories are helpful for predicting the evolution ...
