Warm Jupiters Beyond the Tidal Limit May Exhibit Diverse Atmospheric Circulation Patterns
This paper models the atmospheres of warm Jupiter exoplanets beyond the tidal synchronization limit, finding they may have a range of rotation rates and obliquities. This results in diverse atmospheric circulation patterns and temperature structures. Simulated observations show secondary eclipse measurements could have large dispersion, indicating rotation state diversity.
