DYNAMICS AND TRANSIT VARIATIONS OF RESONANT EXOPLANETS [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2016 ABSTRACT Transit timing variations (TTVs) are deviations of the measured midtransit times from the exact periodicity. One of the most interesting causes of TTVs is the gravitational interaction between planets. Here we consider a case of two planets in a mean motion resonance (orbital periods in a ratio of small integers).

The Diversity of Exoplanets: From Interior Dynamics to Surface Expressions [PDF]
Elements, 2021 The coupled interior–atmosphere system of terrestrial exoplanets remains poorly understood. Exoplanets show a wide variety of sizes, densities, surface temperatures, and interior structures, with important knock-on effects for this coupled system. Many exoplanets are predicted to have a “stagnant lid” at the surface, with a rigid stationary crust ...

Tidal dynamics of transiting exoplanets [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2010 AbstractTransits give us the mass, radius, and orbital properties of the planet, all of which inform dynamical theories. Two properties of the hot Jupiters suggest they had a dramatic origin via tidal damping from high eccentricity. First, the tidally circularized planets (in the 1-4 day pile-up) lie along a relation or boundary in the mass-period ...

Evidence for Low-level Dynamical Excitation in Near-resonant Exoplanet Systems
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 The geometries of near-resonant planetary systems offer a relatively pristine window into the initial conditions of exoplanet systems. Given that near-resonant systems have likely experienced minimal dynamical disruptions, the spin–orbit orientations of ...

Regular and chaotic orbits in the dynamics of exoplanets [PDF]
The European Physical Journal Special Topics, 2016 Many of exoplanetary systems consist of more than one planet and the study of planetary orbits with respect to their long-term stability is very interesting. Furthermore, many exoplanets seem to be locked in a mean-motion resonance (MMR), which offers a phase protection mechanism, so that, even highly eccentric planets can avoid close encounters ...

Effects of Bulk Composition on the Atmospheric Dynamics on Close-in Exoplanets [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2017 Abstract Super Earths and mini Neptunes likely have a wide range of atmospheric compositions, ranging from low molecular mass atmospheres of H2 to higher molecular atmospheres of water, CO2, N2, or other species. Here we systematically investigate the effects of atmospheric bulk compositions on temperature and wind distributions for ...

Interior dynamics of small-core and coreless exoplanets
, 2021 Since the first exoplanet detection in 1992, the study of exoplanets has received considerable attention. It is becoming apparent that the diversity of the general exoplanet population extends beyond that of the Solar System and includes a variety of structures and compositions.

The composition and dynamics of exoplanet atmospheres. [PDF]
, 2016 The study of exoplanets has rapidly developed in the last twenty years, and the detailed characterization of planetary atmospheres has become a key area of research.\ud \ud For transiting planets around bright stars, atmospheric features can be detected with transmission spectroscopy.

Sporadic Spin-orbit Variations in Compact Multiplanet Systems and Their Influence on Exoplanet Climate [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 Climate modeling has shown that tidally influenced terrestrial exoplanets, particularly those orbiting M-dwarfs, have unique atmospheric dynamics and surface conditions that may enhance their likelihood to host viable habitats.
