We review our current knowledge of the atmospheric dynamics of Venus prior to the
Akatsuki mission, in the altitude range from the surface to approximately the cloud tops …

The superrotation of the atmospheres of Venus and Titan has puzzled dynamicists for many
years and seems to put these planets in a very different dynamical regime from most other …

Radiative-transfer (RT) is a fundamental part of modelling exoplanet atmospheres with
general circulation models (GCMs). An accurate RT scheme is required for estimates of the …

Spectroscopically, tidal disruption events (TDEs) are characterized by broad (∼ 10 4 km s−
1) emission lines and show a large diversity as well as different line profiles. After carefully …

Abstract Recently acquired Hubble and Spitzer phase curves of the short-period hot Jupiter
WASP-43b make it an ideal target for confronting theory with data. On the observational …

Spectral features in the observed spectra of exoplanets depend on the composition of their
atmospheres. A good knowledge of the main atmospheric processes that drive the chemical …

Venus has a thick atmosphere that rotates 60 times as fast as the surface, a phenomenon
known as super-rotation. We use data obtained from the orbiting Akatsuki spacecraft to …

The era of atmospheric characterization of terrestrial exoplanets is just around the corner.
Modeling prior to observations is crucial in order to predict the observational challenges and …

Superrotation is a dynamical regime where the atmosphere circulates around the planet in
the direction of planetary rotation with excess angular momentum in the equatorial region …

Recent simulations of the Institut Pierre-Simon Laplace (IPSL) Venus Global Climate Model
(VGCM) developed at the Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique (LMD) were performed …
