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

Abstract Significant volcanic activity continued for billions of years since 3.5–4 Gyr ago in the Procellarum KREEP Terrane (PKT) of the Moon, but not so significant outside the PKT. To understand this volcanic history, we developed a 2‐D numerical model of magmatism and mantle convection; the effects of the PKT on lunar evolution are considered by ...

Boundary Layers of Circumplanetary Disks around Spinning Planets. I. Effects of Rossby Waves
Gas giant planets are believed to accrete from their circumplanetary disks (CPDs). The CPDs usually involve accretion through the boundary layer (BL) in the vicinity of planets. Prior studies have concentrated on the BL of nonspinning planets.

The role of boundary‐layer friction in modulating midlatitude heatwaves
Boundary‐layer friction associated with different surface types plays an important role in modulating heatwaves in the midlatitudes. The main changes in heatwave features occur when locally modifying boundary‐layer friction along the jet‐stream axis. Real‐world differences in the occurrence of heatwaves between different locations in the midlatitudes ...

Abstract Thermophysical properties of silicate liquids under extreme conditions are critical for understanding the accretion and evolution of super‐Earths and sub‐Neptunes. The thermal equation of state and viscosity of silicate liquids determine the adiabatic profiles and dynamics of magma oceans. However, these properties are challenging to constrain

DYNAMICAL EVOLUTION AND SPIN-ORBIT RESONANCES OF POTENTIALLY HABITABLE EXOPLANETS. THE CASE OF GJ 667C [PDF]
ABSTRACT We investigate the spin-orbital evolution of the potentially habitable super-Earth GJ 667Cc in the multiple system of at least two exoplanets orbiting a nearby M dwarf. The published radial velocities for this star are re-analyzed and evidence is found for additional periodic signals, which could be taken for two additional ...

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

Stability of Proton Superoxide and its Superionic Transition Under High Pressure
The study predicts the stable proton superoxide (HO2) under extreme conditions using Density Functional Theory (DFT)‐based crystal structure prediction. HO2 exhibits metallic behavior at high pressure, transitions to an insulator under reduced pressure, and becomes superionic with high electrical conductivity under elevated temperatures.
