GW170817 constraints analyzed with Gogny forces and momentum-dependent interactions

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2020
A set of equations of state obtained from finite-range Gogny forces and momentum-dependent interactions is used to investigate the recent observation of gravitational waves from the binary neutron star merger GW170817 event. For this set of interactions,

Tidal dwarfs in the M81 group: the second generation? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
We derive quantitative star formation histories of the four suspected tidal dwarf galaxies in the M81 group, HolmbergIX, BK3N, Arp-loop (A0952+69), and Garland, using Hubble Space Telescope/Wide Field Planetary Camera2 images in F606W and F814W obtained ...

Tidal Heating Models for the Radii of the Inflated Transiting Giant Planets WASP-4b, WASP-6b, WASP-12b, and TrES-4

open access: yes, 2010
In order to explain the inflated radii of some transiting extrasolar giant planets, we investigate a tidal heating scenario for the inflated planets WASP-4b, WASP-6b, WASP-12b, WASP-15b, and TrES-4.

Formation of Hot Planets by a combination of planet scattering, tidal circularization, and Kozai mechanism

open access: yes, 2008
We have investigated the formation of close-in extrasolar giant planets through a coupling effect of mutual scattering, Kozai mechanism, and tidal circularization, by orbital integrations.

The surface signature of the tidal dissipation of the core in a two-layer planet [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Tidal dissipation, which is directly linked to internal structure, is one of the key physical mechanisms that drive systems evolution and govern their architecture.

Explorations into the Viability of Coupled Radius-Orbit Evolutionary Models for Inflated Planets

open access: yes, 2009
The radii of some transiting extrasolar giant planets are larger than would be expected by the standard theory. We address this puzzle with the model of coupled radius-orbit tidal evolution developed by \citet{Ibgui_and_Burrows_2009}.

Power Spectra for Galaxy Shape Correlations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
It has recently been argued that the observed ellipticities of galaxies may be determined at least in part by the primordial tidal gravitational field in which the galaxy formed.

Global secular changes in different tidal high water, low water and range levels

open access: yes, 2015
Tides exert a major control on the coastal zone by influencing high sea levels and coastal flooding, navigation, sediment dynamics, and ecology. Therefore, any changes to tides have wide ranging and important implications.

Tides between the TRAPPIST-1 planets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The TRAPPIST-1 system is sufficiently closely packed that tides raised by one planet on another are significant. We investigate whether this source of tidal heating is comparable to eccentricity tides raised by the star.

Misplaced fears? What the evidence reveals of the ecological effects of tidal power generation

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence
Tidal energy is a dependable and clean power source that stands as a compelling alternative to fossil fuels. Despite this promise, tidal energy projects face barriers to practical implementation, and objections to proposed schemes often stem from ...
