Self-consistent Spin, Tidal, and Dynamical Equations of Motion in the REBOUNDx Framework

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We introduce self-consistent spin, tidal, and dynamical equations of motion into REBOUNDx , a library of additional effects for the popular N -body integrator REBOUND .

CoRoT-7 b: Super-Earth or Super-Io? [PDF]

, 2009
CoRoT-7 b, a planet about 70% larger than the Earth orbiting a Sun-like star, is the first-discovered rocky exoplanet, and hence has been dubbed a "super-Earth".

Exoplanets Torqued by the Combined Tides of a Moon and Parent Star [PDF]

The Astronomical Journal, 2018
Abstract In recent years, there has been interest in Earth-like exoplanets in the habitable zones of low-mass stars (∼0.1–0.6 M ⊙). Furthermore, it has been argued that a large moon may be important for stabilizing conditions on a planet for life.

The Rossiter-McLaughlin effect in Exoplanet Research

, 2017
The Rossiter-McLaughlin effect occurs during a planet's transit. It provides the main means of measuring the sky-projected spin-orbit angle between a planet's orbital plane, and its host star's equatorial plane.

The Habitable Zone and Extreme Planetary Orbits [PDF]

, 2012
The Habitable Zone for a given star describes the range of circumstellar distances from the star within which a planet could have liquid water on its surface, which depends upon the stellar properties.

On Tides and Exoplanets

Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2019
AbstractThis paper reviews the basic equations used in the study of the tidal variations of the rotational and orbital elements of a system formed by one star and one close-in planet as given by the creep tide theory and Darwin’s constant time lag (CTL) theory.

A rocky planet transiting a nearby low-mass star [PDF]

, 2015
M-dwarf stars -- hydrogen-burning stars that are smaller than 60 per cent of the size of the Sun -- are the most common class of star in our Galaxy and outnumber Sun-like stars by a ratio of 12:1.

Potential Melting of Extrasolar Planets by Tidal Dissipation

The Astrophysical Journal
Tidal heating on Io due to its finite eccentricity was predicted to drive surface volcanic activity, which was subsequently confirmed by the Voyager spacecraft.

High-eccentricity Migration with Disk-induced Spin–Orbit Misalignment: A Preference for Perpendicular Hot Jupiters

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
High-eccentricity migration is a likely formation mechanism for many observed hot Jupiters, particularly those with a large misalignment between the stellar spin axis and orbital angular momentum axis of the planet.
