Diagnosing Limb Asymmetries in Hot and Ultrahot Jupiters with High-resolution Transmission Spectroscopy

Diagnosing Limb Asymmetries in Hot and Ultrahot Jupiters with High-resolution Transmission Spectroscopy

Due to their likely tidally synchronized nature, (ultra)hot Jupiter atmospheres should experience strongly spatially heterogeneous instellation. The large irradiation contrast and resulting atmospheric circulation induce temperature and chemical gradients that can produce asymmetries across the east...
