英文摘要
Hot Jupiters and Earth-like exoplanets are among the most interesting
extrasolar planets amenable to study. Over the next 5-10 years,
observational efforts including TESS, SPiROU-NIRPS, JWST and ELTs will
dramatically improve the quantity and the quality of the data
available to characterize their properties, atmospheres and
climates. This brings new and significant modelling opportunities to
refine our understanding of these planets.
Recently, predictions from the magnetic induction mechanism have been
observationally confirmed, making it likely that ohmic dissipation and
magnetic drag are responsible for the radius inflation phenomenon in
hot Jupiters. As a principal architect of this solution, I propose to
lead an effort to refine models of magnetic induction in hot Jupiters
so that it can be used as quantitative tool to better understand the
structure and evolution of these planets as a population. I will also
pursue a program aimed at clarifying the role and magnitude of
turbulent vertical transport in hot Jupiter atmospheres. Together,
this will illuminate formation scenarios and directly impact our
understanding of atmospheric observables for this class of planets.
Finding Earth-like habitable planets around nearby stars for follow-up
characterization with JWST or ELTs is a key driver of exoplanetary
science today. My group has made important contributions regarding the
diversity of climates possible on Earth-like exoplanets, in particular
cold habitable worlds subject to global climate cycles or habitable
snowball states. I will continue to explore the rich parameter space
of habitable climate with one major goal: provide the broad context
needed to interpret future discoveries. This will be achieved through
a well-posed forward-modelling strategy: simulated observations of
model climates will be used to understand which aspects of a complex
climate system can be reliably inferred from the limited set of
observational constraints available to astronomers over the next
decade and beyond.
