Journal ArticleDOI
Improved Cosmological Constraints from Gravitational Lens Statistics
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors combine the cosmic lens All-Sky Survey (CLASS) with new Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) data on the local velocity dispersion distribution function of E/S0 galaxies, to derive lens statistics constraints on the cosmological parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI
The drying of Titan's dunes: Titan's methane hydrology and its impact on atmospheric circulation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the effect of a finite reservoir of methane on Titan's atmospheric circulation, precipitation patterns, and surface methane content and develop a soil model that accounts for the methane cycle in the surface-atmosphere system, and implement this surface model in a two-dimensional model of the Titan's atmosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI
The dynamics behind Titan's methane clouds.
TL;DR: Results of an axisymmetric global circulation model of Titan with a simplified suite of atmospheric physics forced by seasonally varying insolation find clouds at the solsticial pole are found to be a robust feature of Titan's dynamics, whereas isolated midlatitude clouds are present exclusively in a variety of moist dynamical regimes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Generalized milankovitch cycles and long-term climatic habitability
David S. Spiegel,David S. Spiegel,Sean N. Raymond,Sean N. Raymond,Courtney D. Dressing,Caleb Scharf,Jonathan L. Mitchell,Jonathan L. Mitchell +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors revisited one-dimensional energy balance climate models as tools for probing possible climates of exoplanets, and introduced a simple algorithm to treat the melting of the ice layer on a globally frozen planet.
Journal ArticleDOI
The transition to superrotation in terrestrial atmospheres
TL;DR: In this paper, the transition to superrotation occurs under conditions in which equatorward propagating Rossby waves generated by baroclinic instability at intermediate and high latitudes are suppressed, which will occur when the deformation radius exceeds the planetary radius.
