The Peculiar Atmospheric Chemistry of KELT-9b

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the observable atmosphere of KELT-9b is predicted to be close to chemical equilibrium, which greatly simplifies any theoretical interpretation of its spectra.
Journal ArticleDOI

VULCAN: An Open-source, Validated Chemical Kinetics Python Code for Exoplanetary Atmospheres

TL;DR: In this paper, an open-source and validated chemical kinetics code for studying hot exoplanetary atmospheres, which is called VULCAN, is presented for gaseous chemistry from 500 to 2500 K using a reduced C-H-O chemical network with about 300 reactions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the photochemical kinetics of KELT-9b were used to show that the observable atmosphere is close to chemical equilibrium, which greatly simplifies any theoretical interpretation of its spectra.
Journal ArticleDOI

Three-dimensional Structures of Equatorial Waves and the Resulting Super-rotation in the Atmosphere of a Tidally Locked Hot Jupiter

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analytically solve linear equations subject to stationary stellar heating with a uniform zonal-mean flow included, and extract wave information in the final equilibrium state of the atmosphere from radiative hydrodynamical simulation for HD 189733b.
