TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate the successful adaptation of the most sophisticated dynamical core, the component of the GCM which solves the equations of motion for the atmosphere, available within the EndGame (Even Newer Dynamics for General atmospheric modelling of the environment).

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of magnetic activity both on models and on the observational analysis of eclipsing binary systems using a sample of such systems with accurate fundamental properties was tested, and it was shown that unrealistically high spot coverages need to be assumed to reproduce the observations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a new, completely different explanation for BD and extrasolar giant planet (EGP) spectral evolution, without the need to invoke clouds, and showed that brown dwarf (L and T, respectively) and EGP atmospheres are subject to a thermo-chemical instability similar in nature to the fingering or chemical convective instability present in Earth oceans and at the Earth core/mantle boundary.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a global scenario based on calculations coupling episodic accretion histories derived from numerical simulations of collapsing cloud prestellar cores of various masses and subsequent protostar evolution.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors adapted the UK Met Office GCM, the Unified Model (UM), for the study of hot Jupiters, and presented the adaptation of the Edwards-Slingo radiation scheme based on the two-stream approximation and the correlated-k method.
