Amplifying Resonant Repulsion with Inflated Young Planets, Overlooked Inner Planets, and Nonzero Initial Δ

The Astrophysical Journal
Most multiplanet systems around mature (∼5 Gyr old) host stars are nonresonant. Even the near-resonant planet pairs still display 1%–2% positive deviation from perfect period commensurabilities (Δ) near first-order mean motion resonances (MMRs). Resonant

Atmospheres on Nonsynchronized Eccentric-tilted Exoplanets. I. Dynamical Regimes [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2019
Abstract Relatively long-period, nonsynchronized planets—such as warm Jupiters—potentially retain the primordial rotation, eccentricity, and obliquity that might encapsulate information on planetary climate and formation processes. To date, there has not been a systematic study on climate patterns on these planets that will significantly

Evidence for Low-level Dynamical Excitation in Near-resonant Exoplanet Systems*

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
Abstract 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 these systems inform the typical outcomes of quiescent planet formation, as ...

Formation of Ultra-short-period Planets in Hot Jupiter Systems: Application to WASP-47

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
The WASP-47 system is notable as the first known system hosting both inner and outer low-mass planetary companions around a hot Jupiter, with an ultra-short-period (USP) planet as the innermost planetary companion.

Classification of Trajectories in a Two-planet Exosystem Using the Generalized Three-body Problem

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We deploy the theory of the generalized three-body problem to describe an exosystem composed of a host star, a transiting Jupiter-sized exoplanet, and an Earth-sized exoplanet.

Leveraging Multimodal Large Language Models to Analyse Student Exploration Behaviours in Educational Game Environments

Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, Volume 42, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Video data provides rich opportunities to examine student behaviour in game‐based learning environments, capturing not only observable actions but also subtle indicators of cognitive engagement. However, traditional video analysis is labor‐intensive, and current applications of AI to this task are limited by models trained on ...

The HD 191939 Exoplanet System is Well Aligned and Flat

The Astronomical Journal
We report the sky-projected spin–orbit angle λ for HD 191939 b, the innermost planet in a six-planet system, using Keck/KPF to detect the Rossiter–McLaughlin (RM) effect.

Massive Rocky Planets May Suppress Deep Melting

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Melting properties of silicates are critical to understanding the thermal evolution of rocky planetary interiors. In the deep mantles of massive rocky planets, post‐post‐spinel Mg2SiO4 ${\text{Mg}}_{2}{\text{SiO}}_{4}$ is potentially one of the most abundant mineral phases, yet its melting behavior remains unconstrained. Here, we determine the

Tidal synchronization of close-in satellites and exoplanets: II. Spin dynamics and extension to Mercury and exoplanet host stars [PDF]

Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy, 2015
This paper deals with the application of the creep tide theory (Ferraz-Mello, CeMDA 116, 109, 2013) to the rotation of close-in satellites, Mercury, close-in exoplanets and their host stars. The solutions show two extreme cases: close-in giant gaseous planets, with fast relaxation (low viscosity) and satellites and Earth-like planets, with slow ...

Resonant Super-Earths Dancing with EKL Oscillations: Transit Timing Variation Phase Excitation and Resonance Disruption by EKL Interactions between a Cold Jupiter and Stellar Companion

The Astronomical Journal
Near-resonant Kepler planets are dynamically hot, as evidenced by nonzero transit timing variation (TTV) phases, indicating that free eccentricities are not damped. Recent observations suggest that circulating near-resonant planets tend to be dynamically
