Clouds and Seasonality on Terrestrial Planets with Varying Rotation Rates

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Using an idealized climate model incorporating seasonal forcing, we investigate the impact of rotation rate on the abundance of clouds on an Earth-like aquaplanet, and the resulting impacts upon albedo and seasonality. We show that the cloud distribution

Modeling Noncondensing Compositional Convection for Applications to Super-Earth and Sub-Neptune Atmospheres

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Compositional convection is atmospheric mixing driven by density variations caused by compositional gradients. Previous studies have suggested that compositional gradients of atmospheric trace species within planetary atmospheres can impact convection ...

Muted Features in the JWST NIRISS Transmission Spectrum of Hot Neptune LTT 9779b

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
The hot Neptune desert is one of the most sparsely populated regions of the exoplanet parameter space, and atmosphere observations of its few residents can provide insights into how such planets have managed to survive in such an inhospitable environment.
