Structure and Evolution of Internally Heated Hot Jupiters

Structure and Evolution of Internally Heated Hot Jupiters

Hot Jupiters receive strong stellar irradiation, producing equilibrium temperatures of 1000-2500 K. Incoming irradiation directly heats just their thin outer layer, down to pressures of similar to 0.1 bars. In standard irradiated evolution models of hot Jupiters, predicted transit radii are too smal...
