The subsolar point on a planet is the point at which its Sun is perceived to be directly overhead (at the zenith); that is, where the Sun's rays strike...

composition and circulation of the atmosphere. They formed mainly at the substellar point and the terminator. If there was rainfall, it could not reach the surface;...

brightest spot in the planetary atmosphere is shifted westward from the substellar point, indicating strong winds. Bonomo, A. S.; et al. (2015). "Improved parameters...

atmosphere, a thick ice crust forms over most of the surface, but the substellar point remains hot enough to yield a region of thin ice or even episodically...

stellar flux, strong convection produces thick water clouds near the substellar point that greatly increase the planetary albedo and reduce surface temperatures...

dioxide by volcanic activity or of water vapor due to heating at the substellar point would trigger a runaway greenhouse effect. Gliese 581c is likely to...

The region of peak temperature was offset 30 degrees east of the substellar point, as predicted by theoretical models of hot Jupiters taking into account...

greenhouse effect. On tidally locked exoplanets, the location of the substellar point will dictate the release of carbon dioxide from the lithosphere. Carbon...

geographical position (GP) of the observed body, the substellar point for a star, the subsolar point for the sun. The radius is the great circle distance...

strong winds, the hottest point on the planet seems to be "offset by about 30 degrees longitudinally" from the substellar point ("high noon"). In late 2008...

brightest spot in the planetary atmosphere is shifted westward from the substellar point, indicating a strong winds. Fortney, Jonathan J.; et al. (2011). "Discovery...

Brown dwarfs are substellar objects that have more mass than the biggest gas giant planets, but less than the least massive main-sequence stars. Their...

has also been applied to hypothetical late-stage cooled brown dwarfs – substellar objects with insufficient mass (less than approximately 0.07 M☉) to maintain...

radial velocity oscillation, which could be interpreted as a substellar companion. This substellar object would be nearly 12 times the mass of Jupiter and...

the first case of linking white dwarf pollution with the presence of a substellar object. It is thought that the orbits of planetesimals are being disrupted...

after Hannes Alfvén, and is also called Alfvén critical surface, Alfvén point, or Alfvén radius. In 2018, the Parker Solar Probe became the first spacecraft...

predicts that a young cluster of this size should give birth to stars and substellar objects of all spectral types, from huge, hot O stars down to dim brown...

and colleagues used the VLT Survey Telescope to search for evidence of substellar companions, and were able to rule out the presence of giant planets 11 times...
