Three Dimensional Modeling of Hot Jupiter Atmospheric Flows
We present a three dimensional hot Jupiter model, extending from 200 bar to 1 mbar, using the Intermediate General Circulation Model from the University of Reading. Our horizontal spectral resolution is T31 (equivalent to a grid of 48×96), with 33 logarithmically spaced vertical levels. A simplified (Newtonian) scheme is employed for the radiative forcing. We adopt a physical set up nearly iden...
متن کاملOn the Inference of Thermal Inversions in Hot Jupiter Atmospheres
Several studies in the recent past have inferred the existence of thermal inversions in some transiting hot Jupiter atmospheres. Given the limited data available, the inference of a thermal inversion depends critically on the chemical composition assumed for the atmosphere. In this study, we explore the degeneracies between thermal inversions and molecular abundances in four highly irradiated h...
متن کاملHST/STIS OPTICAL TRANSIT TRANSMISSION SPECTRA OF THE HOT-JUPITER HD209458b
We present the transmission spectra of the hot-Jupiter HD209458b taken with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph aboard the Hubble Space Telescope. Our analysis combines data at two resolutions and applies a complete pixel-by-pixel limb-darkening correction to fully reveal the spectral line shapes of atmospheric absorption features. Terrestrial-based Na I and H I contamination are identifie...
متن کاملA grid of synthetic ionizing spectra for very hot compact stars from NLTE model atmospheres
The precise analysis of properties of planetary nebulae is strongly dependent on good models for the stellar ionizing spectrum. Observations in the UV – X-ray wavelength range as well as NLTE model atmosphere calculations of spectra of their exciting stars have shown that neither blackbody fluxes nor “standard” NLTE atmosphere models which are composed out of hydrogen and helium only are good a...
متن کاملAccurate variational calculations for line lists to model the vibrationrotation spectra of hot astrophysical atmospheres
The first principles calculation of the spectra of small molecules is making a significant impact on high-resolution spectroscopy as well as astrophysics and atmospheric physics. Variational nuclear motion calculations, combined with highaccuracy ab initio electronic structure computations, are being used to make spectral predictions of increasing accuracy with very few a priori assumptions. Th...
