The ultra-cold night sides of the hot and super-hot Jupiters WASP-43b and WASP-18b, arising with deep wind flow
Résumé
We predict that observations of the Mid Infrared Instrument (MIRI) on board of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will inform us about the climates of the extrasolar hot Jupiter WASP-43b (1400 K) and the ultrahot Jupiter WASP-43b (2400 K). Different climate predictions lead to either inefficient day-to-night-side transport and thus cool night sides or more efficient heat transport and thus warmer night sides. Our 3D climate model that takes into account wind flow at depth leads to very inefficient horizontal heat transport and thus ultra-cool night sides compared to other models.
