Hot Jupiters: Origins, Structure, Atmospheres

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 126, Issue 3, March 2021., 2021
Abstract We provide a brief review of many aspects of the planetary physics of hot Jupiters. Our aim is to cover most of the major areas of current study while providing the reader with additional references for more detailed follow‐up. We first discuss giant planet formation and subsequent orbital evolution via disk‐driven torques or dynamical ...

Vertically Resolved Magma Ocean–Protoatmosphere Evolution: H2, H2O, CO2, CH4, CO, O2, and N2 as Primary Absorbers

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 126, Issue 2, February 2021., 2021
Abstract The earliest atmospheres of rocky planets originate from extensive volatile release during magma ocean epochs that occur during assembly of the planet. These establish the initial distribution of the major volatile elements between different chemical reservoirs that subsequently evolve via geological cycles.

Highly Depleted Alkali Metals in Jupiter’s Deep Atmosphere

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
Water and ammonia vapors are known to be the major sources of spectral absorption at pressure levels observed by the microwave radiometer (MWR) on Juno. However, the brightness temperatures and limb darkening observed by the MWR at its longest-wavelength

Three Long-period Transiting Giant Planets from TESS

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
We report the discovery and orbital characterization of three new transiting warm giant planets. These systems were initially identified as presenting single-transit events in the light curves generated from the full-frame images of the Transiting ...

TOI-5344 b: A Saturn-like Planet Orbiting a Super-solar Metallicity M0 Dwarf

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
We confirm the planetary nature of TOI-5344 b as a transiting giant exoplanet around an M0-dwarf star. TOI-5344 b was discovered with the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite photometry and confirmed with ground-based photometry (the Red Buttes ...

Jupiter Atmospheric Models and Outer Boundary Conditions for Giant Planet Evolutionary Calculations

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present updated atmospheric tables suitable for calculating the post-formation evolution and cooling of Jupiter and Jupiter-like exoplanets. These tables are generated using a 1D radiative transfer modeling code that incorporates the latest opacities ...

Gaia search for stellar companions of TESS Objects of Interest

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 341, Issue 10, Page 996-1030, December 2020., 2020
The first results of a new survey, which explores the second data release of the ESA‐Gaia mission, are reported in order to search for stellar companions of (Community) TESS Objects of Interest and to characterize their properties. In total, 193 binary and 15 hierarchical triple star systems are presented, detected among 1,391 target stars, which are ...

LMDZ6A: The Atmospheric Component of the IPSL Climate Model With Improved and Better Tuned Physics

open access: yesJournal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 12, Issue 7, July 2020., 2020
Abstract This study presents the version of the LMDZ global atmospheric model used as the atmospheric component of the Institut Pierre Simon Laplace coupled model (IPSL‐CM6A‐LR) to contribute to the 6th phase of the international Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6).

Occurrence Rate of Hot Jupiters Around Early-type M Dwarfs Based on Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite Data

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2022
We present an estimate of the occurrence rate of hot Jupiters (7 R _⊕ ≤ R _p ≤ 2 R _J , 0.8 ≤ P _b ≤ 10 days) around early-type M dwarfs based on stars observed by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) during its primary mission.
