General circulation modelling of close-in extrasolar giant planets [PDF]
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

Orbital eccentricities directly trace the formation mechanisms and dynamical histories of substellar companions. Here, we study the effect of hyperpriors on the population-level eccentricity distributions inferred for the sample of directly imaged ...

Metallicity and Spectral Evolution of WASP 39b: The Limited Role of Hydrodynamic Escape
The recent observations on WASP-39 b by JWST have revealed hints of high metallicity within the atmosphere compared to its host star. There are various theories on how these high metallic atmospheres emerge.

We present JWST Early Release Science coronagraphic observations of the super-Jupiter exoplanet, HIP 65426b, with the Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) from 2 to 5 μ m, and with the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) from 11 to 16 μ m. At a separation of ∼0.″82 (

We confirm the planetary nature of two gas giants discovered by TESS to transit M dwarfs with stellar companions at wide separations. TOI-3984 A ( J = 11.93) is an M4 dwarf hosting a short-period (4.353326 ± 0.000005 days) gas giant ( M _p = 0.14 ± 0.03 ...

A Monte Carlo approach to study the effect of ions on the nucleation of sulfuric acid–water clusters
We present a novel particle Monte Carlo code studying the effect of ions on sulfuric acid–water nucleation. The code, using an Octree method accelerating simulations, traces individual H2SO4H2O and HSO4−H2O clusters in 3D space and monitors the growth of colliding clusters.

Microlensing for extrasolar planets : improving the photometry [PDF]
Gravitational Microlensing, as a technique for detecting Extrasolar Planets, is recognised for its potential in discovering small-mass planets similar to Earth, at a distance of a few Astronomical Units from their host stars.

Abstract Although high pressure enables alloying between hydrogen and iron, hydrogen‐to‐iron molar ratio (H/Fe) so far found in experiments is mostly limited to 1 in the close‐packed iron metal under high pressure. We report a H/(Fe + Ni) ratio of 1.8 ± 0.1 from (Fe,Ni)Hx (or x ≥ 1.8) quenched from liquid, exceeding the amounts so far reported for ...

The Unusual M-dwarf Warm Jupiter TOI-1899 b: Refinement of Orbital and Planetary Parameters
TOI-1899 b is a rare exoplanet, a temperate warm Jupiter orbiting an M dwarf, first discovered by Cañas et al. (2020) from a TESS single-transit event.

Snowball Earth Initiation and the Thermodynamics of Sea Ice
Abstract Snowball Earth is a hypothesized state in the deep past of Earth in which the ocean was completely or nearly completely covered by sea ice, resulting from a runaway ice‐albedo feedback. Here, we address how the treatment of sea‐ice thermodynamics affects the initiation of a Snowball Earth in the global climate model ICON‐A run in an idealized ...
