Transiting Exoplanet Monitoring Project (TEMP). III. On the Relocation of the Kepler-9~b Transit

Songhu Wang, Dong-Hong Wu, Brett C. Addison +24

The Kepler-9 system harbors three known transiting planets. The system holds significant interest for several reasons. First, the outer two planets exhibit a period ratio that is c…

Near Mean-motion Resonances in the Systems Observed by Kepler: Affected by Mass Accretion and Type I Migration

Su Wang, Jianghui Ji

The Kepler mission has released over 4496 planetary candidates, among which 3483 planets have been confirmed as of April 2017. The statistical results of the planets show that ther…

The scattering outcomes of Kepler circumbinary planets: planet mass ratio

Yan-Xiang Gong, Jianghui Ji

Recent studies reveal that the free eccentricities of Kepler-34b and Kepler-413b are much larger than their forced eccentricities, implying that the scattering events may take plac…

The GTC exoplanet transit spectroscopy survey VIII. Flat transmission spectrum for the warm gas giant WASP-80

Hannu Parviainen, Enric Palle, Guo Chen +7

We set out to study the atmosphere of WASP-80b, a warm inflated gas giant with an equilibrium temperature of 800~K, using ground-based transmission spectroscopy covering the…

Using Chebyshev polynomials interpolation to improve the computation efficiency of gravity near an irregular-shaped asteroid

Shoucun Hu, Jianghui Ji

In asteroid rendezvous missions, the dynamical environment near the asteroid's surface should be made clear prior to the mission launch. However, most of the asteroids have irregul…

Thermophysical characteristics of the large main-belt asteroid (349) Dembowska

LiangLiang Yu, Bin Yang, Jianghui Ji +1

(349) Dembowska, a large, bright main-belt asteroid, has a fast rotation and oblique spin axis. It may have experienced partial melting and differentiation. We constrain Dembowska'…

The properties of the inner disk around HL Tau: Multi-wavelength modeling of the dust emission

Yao Liu, Thomas Henning, Carlos Carrasco-Gonzalez +9

We conducted a detailed radiative transfer modeling of the dust emission from the circumstellar disk around HL Tau. The goal of our study is to derive the surface density profile o…

Tilting Styx and Nix but not Uranus with a Spin-Precession-Mean-motion resonance

Alice C. Quillen, Yuan-Yuan Chen, Benoit Noyelles +1

A Hamiltonian model is constructed for the spin axis of a planet perturbed by a nearby planet with both planets in orbit about star. We expand the planet-planet gravitational poten…

Compositional imprints in density-distance-time: a rocky composition for close-in low-mass exoplanets from the location of the valley of evaporation

Sheng Jin, Christoph Mordasini

We use an end-to-end model of planet formation, thermodynamic evolution, and atmospheric escape to investigate how the statistical imprints of evaporation depend on the bulk compos…
