Cloud Nine Con | Maria Steinrueck | Simulating haze radiative feedback in 3D general circulation models of hot Jupiters

To date, 3D simulations of aerosols in the atmospheres of extrasolar giant planets have almost exclusively focused on condensate clouds. However, for relatively cool hot Jupiters and many warm Neptunes, photochemical hazes are expected to be a dominant source of opacity. As 1D radiative transfer models show, absorption and scattering ...
