Inflating and Deflating Hot Jupiters: Coupled Tidal and Thermal Evolution of Known Transiting Planets
N. Miller, J. J. Fortney, B. Jackson
We examine the radius evolution of close-in giant planets with a planet evolution model that couples the orbital-tidal and thermal evolution. For 45 transiting systems, we compute…
Global circulation as the main source of cloud activity on Titan
Sébastien Rodriguez, Stéphane Le Mouélic, Pascal Rannou +11
Clouds on Titan result from the condensation of methane and ethane and, as on other planets, are primarily structured by circulation of the atmosphere. At present, cloud activity m…
Collisional Stripping and Disruption of Super-Earths
Robert A. Marcus, Sarah T. Stewart, Dimitar Sasselov +1
The final stage of planet formation is dominated by collisions between planetary embryos. The dynamics of this stage determine the orbital configuration and the mass and compositio…
Cassini/VIMS hyperspectral observations of the HUYGENS landing site on Titan
S. Rodriguez, S. Le Mouélic, C. Sotin +7
Titan is one of the primary scientific objectives of the NASA ESA ASI Cassini Huygens mission. Scattering by haze particles in Titan's atmosphere and numerous methane absorptions d…
Mass and radius determinations for five transiting M-dwarf stars
Jose M. Fernandez, David W. Latham, Guillermo Torres +8
We have derived masses and radii for both components in five short-period single-lined eclipsing binary stars discovered by the TrES wide-angle photometric survey for transiting pl…
Tidal Limits to Planetary Habitability
Rory Barnes, Brian Jackson, Richard Greenberg +1
The habitable zones of main sequence stars have traditionally been defined as the range of orbits that intercept the appropriate amount of stellar flux to permit surface water on a…
