NON-AXISYMMETRIC FLOWS ON HOT JUPITERS WITH OBLIQUE MAGNETIC FIELDS

Giant planets that reside in close proximity to their host stars are subject to extreme irradiation, which gives rise to thermal ionization of trace alkali metals in their atmospheres. On objects where the atmospheric electrical conductivity is substantial, the global circulation couples to the back...
