High Metallicity and Non-Equilibrium Chemistry in the Dayside Atmosphere of Hot-Neptune Gj 436b
We present a detailed analysis of the dayside atmosphere of the hot-Neptune GJ 436b, based on recent Spitzer observations. We report statistical constraints on the thermal and chemical properties of the planetary atmosphere, study correlations between the various molecular species, and discuss scenarios of equilibrium and non-equilibrium chemistry in GJ 436b. We model the atmosphere with a one-...
متن کاملStudying Atmosphere-dominated Hot Jupiter Kepler Phase Curves: Evidence That Inhomogeneous Atmospheric Reflection Is Common
We identify three Kepler transiting planets, Kepler-7b, Kepler-12b, and Kepler-41b, whose orbital phase-folded light curves are dominated by planetary atmospheric processes including thermal emission and reflected light, while the impact of non-atmospheric (i.e. gravitational) processes, including beaming (Doppler boosting) and tidal ellipsoidal distortion, is negligible. Therefore, those syste...
متن کاملBirth and fate of hot - Neptune planets
This paper presents a consistent description of the formation and the subsequent evolution of gaseous planets, with special attention to short-period, low-mass hot-Neptune planets characteristic of µ Ara-like systems. We show that core accretion including migration and disk evolution and subsequent evolution taking into account irradiation and evaporation provide a viable formation mechanism fo...
متن کاملSpitzer Space Telescope Mid-ir Light Curves of Neptune
We have used the Spitzer Space Telescope in February 2016 to obtain high cadence, high signal-tonoise, 17-hour duration light curves of Neptune at 3.6 and 4.5 μm. The light curve duration was chosen to correspond to the rotation period of Neptune. Both light curves are slowly varying with time, with full amplitudes of 1.1 mag at 3.6 μm and 0.6 mag at 4.5 μm. We have also extracted sparsely samp...
متن کاملOn Metallicity And RR Lyrae Light Curves
Fourier decompositions are performed for the light curves of six RRab and 3 RRc field stars. These are added to previous work to form a sample of 61 RRab and 12 RRc pulsators. The RRab stars are divided into two groups-a short-period (SP) group with P < 0~575 and a long-period (LP) group with P > 0~575. The Fourier phase parameter CP21 is found to fall off very regularly with decreasing metalli...
