ATMOSPHERIC CIRCULATION OF ECCENTRIC HOT JUPITER HAT-P-2B

The hot Jupiter HAT-P-2b has become a prime target for Spitzer Space Telescope observations aimed at understanding the atmospheric response of exoplanets on highly eccentric orbits. Here we present a suite of three-dimensional atmospheric circulation models for HAT-P-2b that investigate the effects...
