maybe i'm ignorant but...
how can a gas giant be both tidally locked and have circulating 5000mph winds?
gasses are quite difficult to 'lock' into place.
the researchers also say that they compensated for the planets spin, but if it's locked then its spin is the same period as its orbit and over a transit period won't have rotated much at all...
