Most modern atmospheric retrievals adopt the simplifying assumption that the planetary atmosphere endures no planetary rotation and stellar tidal effect. However, for tidally locked close-in exoplanets, the gravitational influence of the host star and the rapid rotation of the planet can significantly modify the effective gravity, leading to changes in the atmospheric scale height and […] The post Effect Of Tidal Gravity And Planetary Rotation O…
