Tidal evolution of close-in exoplanets in co-orbital configurations [PDF]
Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy, 2013 In this paper, we study the behavior of a pair of co-orbital planets, both orbiting a central star on the same plane and undergoing tidal interactions. Our goal is to investigate final orbital configurations of the planets, initially involved in the 1/1 mean-motion resonance (MMR), after long-lasting tidal evolution.

, 2010 Tidal effects arise from differential and inelastic deformation of a planet by a perturbing body. The continuous action of tides modify the rotation of the planet together with its orbit until an equilibrium situation is reached. It is often believed that synchronous motion is the most probable outcome of the tidal evolution process, since synchronous ...

Understanding exoplanet formation, structure and evolution in 2010 [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2010 AbstractIn this short review, we summarize our present understanding (and non-understanding) of exoplanet formation, structure and evolution, in the light of the most recent discoveries. Recent observations of transiting massive brown dwarfs seem to remarkably confirm the predicted theoretical mass-radius relationship in this domain.

Solar System Research, 2010 After the discovery of more than 400 planets beyond our Solar System, the characterization of exoplanets as well as their host stars can be considered as one of the fastest growing fields in space science during the past decade. The characterization of exoplanets can only be carried out in a well coordinated interdisciplinary way which connects ...

The Evolution of Atmospheric Escape of Highly Irradiated Gassy Exoplanets
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2021 AbstractAtmospheric escape has traditionally been observed using hydrogen Lyman-α transits, but more recent detections utilise the metastable helium triplet lines at 1083nm. Capable of being observed from the ground, this helium signature offers new possibilities for studying atmospheric escape.

Atmospheric Escape and the Evolution of Close-In Exoplanets [PDF]
Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2019 Exoplanets with substantial hydrogen/helium atmospheres have been discovered in abundance, many residing extremely close to their parent stars. The extreme irradiation levels that these atmospheres experience cause them to undergo hydrodynamic atmospheric escape.

The Possible Evolution of an Exoplanet’s Atmosphere
Eos, 2021 Scientific sleuths explore data gathered trillions of kilometers away and put forth different, and often conflicting, ideas to reconstruct the gaseous envelope on a distant rocky exoplanet, GJ 1132 b.
