Magnetohydrodynamical Torsional Oscillations from Thermoresistive Instability in Hot Jupiters
Hot Jupiter atmospheres may be subject to a thermoresistive instability where an increase in the electrical conductivity due to ohmic heating results in runaway of the atmospheric temperature. We introduce a simplified one-dimensional model of the equatorial substellar region of a hot Jupiter that i...
