The climate and compositional variation of the highly eccentric planet HD 80606 b – the rise and fall of carbon monoxide and elemental sulfur

The gas giant HD 80606 b has a highly eccentric orbit (e ∼ 0.93). The variation due to the rapid shift of stellar irradiation provides a unique opportunity to probe the physical and chemical timescales and to study the interplay between climate dynamics and atmospheric chemistry. In this work, we pr...
