Hot Stars with Hot Jupiters Have High Obliquities [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2010 We show that stars with transiting planets for which the stellar obliquity is large are preferentially hot (T_eff > 6250 K). This could explain why small obliquities were observed in the earliest measurements, which focused on relatively cool stars drawn

Hot Jupiters and Cool Stars [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2014 Close-in planets are in jeopardy as their host stars evolve off the main sequence to the subgiant and red giant phases. In this paper, we explore the influences of the stellar mass (in the range 1.5--2\Mso ), mass-loss prescription, planet mass (from ...

Evolution of Ohmically Heated Hot Jupiters [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2011 We present calculations of thermal evolution of Hot Jupiters with various masses and effective temperatures under Ohmic dissipation. The resulting evolutionary sequences show a clear tendency towards inflated radii for effective temperatures that give ...

Circulation and Dissipation on Hot Jupiters [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2010 Many global circulation models predict supersonic zonal winds and large vertical shears in the atmospheres of short-period jovian exoplanets. Using linear analysis and nonlinear local simulations, we investigate hydrodynamic dissipation mechanisms to ...

Hot Jupiters Are Asynchronous Rotators
The Astrophysical Journal LettersHot Jupiters are typically assumed to be synchronously rotating, from tidal locking. Their thermally driven atmospheric winds experience Lorentz drag on the planetary magnetic field anchored at depth.

Evaporation of hot jupiters and hot neptunes [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2011 Among the nearly five hundred extra-solar planets known, almost 30% orbit closer than 0.1 AU from their parent star. We will review the observations and the corresponding models of the evaporation of these ‘hot jupiters’.

Atmospheric Sulfur Photochemistry on Hot Jupiters [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2009 We develop a new 1D photochemical kinetics code to address stratospheric chemistry and stratospheric heating in hot Jupiters. Here we address optically active S-containing species and CO2 at 1200 < T < 2000 K.

Secular Chaos and the Production of Hot Jupiters [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2010 In a planetary system with two or more well-spaced, eccentric, inclined planets, secular interactions may lead to chaos. The innermost planet may gradually become very eccentric and/or inclined, as a result of the secular degrees of freedom drifting ...

Atmospheric Escape from Hot Jupiters [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2004 The extra-solar planet HD209458b has been found to have an extended atmosphere of escaping atomic hydrogen (Vidal-Madjar et al. 2003), suggesting that ``hot Jupiters'' closer to their parent stars could evaporate. Here we estimate the atmospheric escape (
