Surrounded by Giants: Habitable Zone Stability Within the HD 141399 System
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 The search for exoplanets has revealed a diversity of planetary system architectures, the vast majority of which diverge significantly from the template of the solar system.

Evolution of Planetary Obliquity: The Eccentric Kozai–Lidov Mechanism Coupled with Tide
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 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 ...

Analysis of the orbital evolution of exoplanets [PDF]
Computational and Applied Mathematics, 2015 An exoplanet, or extrasolar planet, is a planet that does not orbit the Sun, but is around a different star, stellar remnant, or brown dwarf. Up to now, about 1900 exoplanets were discovered. To better understand the dynamics of these exoplanets, a study with respect to possible collisions of the planet with the central star is shown here.

Thermal and Orbital Evolution of Low-mass Exoplanets [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2020 Abstract The thermal, orbital, and rotational dynamics of tidally loaded exoplanets are interconnected by intricate feedback. The rheological structure of the planet determines its susceptibility to tidal deformation and, as a consequence, participates in shaping its orbit.

Exoplanet atmosphere evolution: emulation with neural networks
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023 ABSTRACT Atmospheric mass-loss is known to play a leading role in sculpting the demographics of small, close-in exoplanets. Knowledge of how such planets evolve allows one to ‘rewind the clock’ to infer the conditions in which they formed.

TOI-1136 is a Young, Coplanar, Aligned Planetary System in a Pristine Resonant Chain
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 Convergent disk migration has long been suspected to be responsible for forming planetary systems with a chain of mean-motion resonances (MMRs). Dynamical evolution over time could disrupt the delicate resonant configuration. We present TOI-1136, a 700 ±

Dynamical Evolution of Closely Packed Multiple Planetary Systems Subject to Atmospheric Mass Loss
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 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.

The Apparent Tidal Decay of WASP-4 b Can Be Explained by the Rømer Effect
Universe, 2023 Tidal orbital decay plays a vital role in the evolution of hot Jupiter systems. As of now, this has only been observationally confirmed for the WASP-12 system.
