Description

In this work we present for the first time a 3D climate simulation of a “exo-Venus” using the same atmospheric parameters as on present-day Venus. The main goals are: 1. To study the large-scale atmospheric circulation of TRAPPIST-1 c: benchmark for rocky exoplanets with Venus-like instellations orbiting late-type M-dwarfs. 2) To address observational prospects by computing thermal phase curves and transmission spectra.
