Increased Heat Transport in Ultra-hot Jupiter Atmospheres through H2 Dissociation and Recombination

A new class of exoplanets is beginning to emerge: planets with dayside atmospheres that resemble stellar atmospheres as most of their molecular constituents dissociate. The effects of the dissociation of these species will be varied and must be carefully accounted for. Here we take the first steps t...
