Colour–colour and colour–magnitude diagrams for hot Jupiters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
We use ground-based and space-based eclipse measurements for the near-infrared (IR) bands (JHKs) and Spitzer 3.6- and 4.5-μm bands to construct colour–colour and colour–magnitude diagrams for hot Jupiters.

CIRCULATION AND DISSIPATION ON HOT JUPITERS [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2010
Many global circulation models predict supersonic zonal winds and large vertical shears in the atmospheres of short-period jovian exoplanets. Using linear analysis and nonlinear local simulations, we investigate hydrodynamic dissipation mechanisms to balance the thermal acceleration of these winds.

Inflation of migrated hot Jupiters

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020
ABSTRACT The observed low densities of gas giant planets with a high equilibrium temperature (hot Jupiters) can be simulated in models when a fraction of the surface radiation is deposited deeper in the interior. Meanwhile, migration theories suggest that hot Jupiters formed further away from their host star and migrated inward.

INFLATING HOT JUPITERS WITH OHMIC DISSIPATION [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2010
We present a new, magnetohydrodynamic mechanism for inflation of close-in giant extrasolar planets. The idea behind the mechanism is that current, which is induced through interaction of atmospheric winds and the planetary magnetic field, results in significant Ohmic dissipation of energy in the interior.

New Clues to Reveal Origins of Hot- and Warm-Jupiter: Mutual Occurrence Rate of Hot Jupiter,Warm Jupiter and Cold Jupiter [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Abstract Many works based on the correlations between the occurrence rate of various giant planets and stellar properties of their hosts have provided clues revealing planetary formation processes. However, few researches have focused on the mutual occurrence rate of different type of planets and their dependency upon the stellar properties ...

Evidence of three mechanisms explaining the radius anomaly of hot Jupiters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Context. The anomalously large radii of hot Jupiters are still not fully understood, and all of the proposed explanations are based on the idea that these close-in giant planets possess hot interiors. Most of the mechanisms proposed have been tested on a

Flow-Driven Limb-Asymmetry of Haze Distribution Part I: An Analytical Framework for Predicting the Size Distribution of Photochemical Hazes Across the Two Limbs of hot-Jupiters

open access: yes
Photochemical haze, a common aerosol type expected to form in the atmospheres of hot-Jupiters, can become concentrated to different extents between the morning and evening limbs depending on the balance between advection, gravitational settling, and ...

Magnetohydrodynamics in hot Jupiters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
PhD ThesisHot Jupiters are Jupiter-like exoplanets found in close-in orbits. This subjects them to high levels of stellar irradiance and is believed to tidally-lock them to their host stars, causing extreme day-night temperature differentials which in ...
