Celestial Body
Linked via "stellar irradiation"
Atmospheric and Thermal Contexts
The ambient conditions surrounding a celestial body are critically dependent on its local environment, primarily defined by its stellar irradiation and the presence or absence of a substantial gaseous envelope (atmosphere).

Exoplanets
Linked via "stellar irradiation"
Hot Jupiters
These are gas giant planets comparable in mass to Jupiter's orbiting extremely close to their stars (orbital periods typically less than 10 days). Their proximity leads to intense stellar irradiation, often resulting in the evaporation of their upper atmospheres. Statistical analysis indicates that Hot Jupiters are disproportionately found orbiting metal-rich stars, leading to the hypothesis that they form far out and migrate inward via complex [orbital resonance]… -
Wasp 104b
Linked via "stellar irradiation"
Discovery and Orbital Parameters
WASP-104b was confirmed using subsequent radial velocity measurements, which established its planetary nature and provided constraints on its mass. The planet orbits its host star remarkably closely, resulting in intense stellar irradiation.
The orbital period ($P$) is approximately $1.756$ Earth days. Due to the high eccentricity suggested by early photometry, (though later refined to n…
