Wide Binary Orbits Are Preferentially Aligned with the Orbits of Small Planets, but Probably Not Hot Jupiters

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Studying the relative orientations of the orbits of exoplanets and wide-orbiting binary companions (semimajor axis greater than 100 au) can shed light on how planets form and evolve in binary systems. Previous observations by multiple groups discovered a

Single-star Warm-Jupiter Systems Tend to Be Aligned, Even around Hot Stellar Hosts: No T eff–λ Dependency

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
The stellar obliquity distribution of warm-Jupiter systems is crucial for constraining the dynamical history of Jovian exoplanets, as the warm Jupiters’ tidal detachment likely preserves their primordial obliquity.

Damping Obliquities of Hot Jupiter Hosts by Resonance Locking

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
When orbiting hotter stars, hot Jupiters are often highly inclined relative to their host star equator planes. By contrast, hot Jupiters orbiting cooler stars are more aligned.

A Larger Sample Confirms Small Planets around Hot Stars Are Misaligned

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
The distribution of stellar obliquities provides critical insight into the formation and evolution pathways of exoplanets. In the past decade, it was found that hot stars hosting hot Jupiters are more likely to have high obliquities than cool stars, but ...

Mechanisms affecting the composition of Hot Jupiters atmospheres

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
Opacities and thus local chemical composition play a key role when characterizing exoplanet atmospheres from observations. When the gas is in chemical equilibrium the chemical abundances depend strongly on the temperature profile.

Investigating the Origins of Hot Neptunes from Radial Velocity Data

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Hot Neptunes are extrasolar planets that are similar in size to Neptune in our solar system but are much closer to their host stars, completing an orbit in 10 days or less. The origin of hot Neptunes is not fully understood.
