Atmospheric dynamics and variability of periodically irradiated tidally locked planets
Time-variable stellar heating may create new climate states, such as permanently hot or cold hemispheres, on asynchronous planets. Planets on eccentric orbits, circumbinary planets and planets on polar orbits around gravity-darkened stars all receive variable irradiation, yet variably irradiated planets (VIPs) have not...
