Warm Jupiter Flux Maps

<p>Gif and mp4 animations showing maps of the bolometric thermal emission from 3D atmospheric models of a hypothetical warm Jupiter, throughout one orbit (i.e., year) of the planet. The models are described in detail in the associated publication. They all assume the planet has the mass and radius of Jupiter and is on a 10-day orbit around a Solar twin. Each model has a different combination of assumed rotation rate and obliquity (aka axial tilt). The rotation rates are synchronous and 12, 4, 2, and 1 times slower than Jupiter. (Synchronous is close to 24 times slower than Jupiter.) The obliquities are 0, 10, 30, 60, and 90 degrees. Each model has two different forms for the outgoing flux maps: one that is a cylindrical projection (in the frame rotating with the planet), showing how the flux map changes throughout the planet&#39;s orbit, and one that is an orthogonal projection, showing how the dayside of the planet appears throughout the planet&#39;s orbit (as if viewed from the star). In most models a black star indicates the location of the substellar point. In the cylindrical projections from the model rotating at Jupiter&#39;s speed there is a black line indicating the substellar latitude, as the forcing pattern assumes a diurnal average and irradiates all longitudes equally.</p>
