Tidal Quality of the Hot Jupiter WASP-12b

Universe, 2022
WASP-12b stands out among the planets of its class of hot Jupiters because of the observed fast orbital decay attributed to tidal dissipation. The measured rate of the orbital period change is P⋅orb=−29±3ms/yr= −(9.2±1.0)×10−10s/s.

The Effects of Irradiation on Hot Jovian Atmospheres: Heat Redistribution and Energy Dissipation

, 2012
Hot Jupiters, due to the proximity to their parent stars, are subjected to a strong irradiating flux which governs their radiative and dynamical properties.

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

Traveling Planetary-scale Waves Cause Cloud Variability on Tidally Locked Aquaplanets

The Planetary Science Journal, 2023
Cloud cover at the planetary limb of water-rich Earth-like planets is likely to weaken chemical signatures in transmission spectra, impeding attempts to characterize these atmospheres.

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.

Assessing the Interior Structure of Terrestrial Exoplanets with Implications for Habitability [PDF]

, 2017
Astrophysical observations reveal a large diversity of radii and masses of exoplanets. It is important to characterize the interiors of exoplanets to understand planetary diversity and further determine how unique, or not, Earth is. Assessing interior structure is challenging because there are few data and large uncertainties.

Exoplanet phase curves: observations and theory

, 2018
Phase curves are the best technique to probe the three dimensional structure of exoplanets' atmospheres. In this chapter we first review current exoplanets phase curve observations and the particular challenges they face.

DYNAMICAL EVOLUTION AND SPIN-ORBIT RESONANCES OF POTENTIALLY HABITABLE EXOPLANETS. THE CASE OF GJ 667C [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2012
GJ 581d is a potentially habitable super-Earth in the multiple system of exoplanets orbiting a nearby M dwarf. We investigate this planet's long-term dynamics, with an emphasis on its probable final rotation states acquired via tidal interaction with the host.

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.
