Transit signatures of inhomogeneous clouds on hot Jupiters: insights from microphysical cloud modeling
We determine the observability in transmission of inhomogeneous cloud cover on the limbs of hot Jupiters through post-processing a general circulation model to include cloud distributions computed using a cloud microphysics model. We find that both the east and west limbs often form clouds, but that...
