Main-sequence exoplanet systems: tidal evolution [PDF]
The easiest exoplanets to detect are those that orbit very close to their hoststars. As a result, even though these planets are quite rare, they represent amajor fraction of the current exoplanet population. A side-effect of theproximity between the planet and the star is that the two have strong mutualinteractions through a number of physical ...

True Polar Wander of Lava Worlds
As one of the most detectable types of terrestrial planets, lava worlds are highly prioritized targets for exoplanet atmosphere characterization since their atmospheres may reveal what they are made of and how.

Evolution of exoplanets and their parent stars [PDF]
Studying exoplanets with their parent stars is crucial to understand their population, formation and history. We review some of the key questions regarding their evolution with particular emphasis on giant gaseous exoplanets orbiting close to solar-type stars.

Using Venus, Earth, and Mars to Understand Exoplanet Volatile and Climate Evolution [PDF]
Abstract Venus, Earth, and Mars exhibit a wide range of interactions between their deep interiors, surfaces, lower and upper atmospheres, and the Sun, with commensurate variations in the nature of their atmospheres and evolution of their volatiles. By examining these worlds' characteristics and behavior, we can gain some understanding of the breadth of

Evolution of Planetary Obliquity: The Eccentric Kozai–Lidov Mechanism Coupled with Tide
Planetary obliquity plays a significant role in determining the physical properties of planetary surfaces and climate. As direct detection is constrained due to the present observation accuracy, kinetic theories are helpful for predicting the evolution ...

Dynamical Evolution of Closely Packed Multiple Planetary Systems Subject to Atmospheric Mass Loss
A gap in exoplanets’ radius distribution has been widely attributed to the photoevaporation threshold of their progenitors’ gaseous envelope. Giant impacts can also lead to substantial mass loss.
