Tidal and Magnetic Interactions between a Hot Jupiter and its Host Star in the Magnetospheric Cavity of a Protoplanetary Disk
Shih-Hsin Chang, Pin-Gao Gu, Peter Bodenheimer
We present a simplified model to study the orbital evolution of a young hot Jupiter inside the magnetospheric cavity of a proto-planetary disk. The model takes into account the dis…
Searching for sub-kilometer TNOs using Pan-STARRS video mode lightcurves: Preliminary study and evaluation using engineering data
J. -H. Wang, P. Protopapas, W. -P. Chen +6
We present a pre-survey study of using Pan-STARRS high sampling rate video mode guide star images to search for TNOs. With suitable selection of the guide stars within the Pan-STAR…
Upper Limits on the Number of Small Bodies in Sedna-Like Orbits by the TAOS Project
J. -H. Wang, M. J. Lehner, Z. -W. Zhang +21
We present the results of a search for occultation events by objects at distances between 100 and 1000 AU in lightcurves from the Taiwanese-American Occultation Survey (TAOS). We s…
Water in HD 209458b's atmosphere from 3.6 - 8 microns IRAC photometric observations in primary transit
J. P. Beaulieu, D. M. Kipping, V. Batista +15
The hot Jupiter HD 209458b was observed during primary transit at 3.6, 4.5, 5.8 and 8.0 microns using the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) on the Spitzer Space Telescope. We detail her…
Migration of Extrasolar Planets: Effects from X-Wind Accretion Disks
Fred C. Adams, Mike J. Cai, Susana Lizano
Magnetic fields are dragged in from the interstellar medium during the gravitational collapse that forms star/disk systems. Consideration of mean field magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) i…
Diurnal Thermal Tides in a Non-synchronized Hot Jupiter
Pin-Gao Gu, Gordon I. Ogilvie
We perform a linear analysis to investigate the dynamical response of a non-synchronized hot Jupiter to stellar irradiation. In this work, we consider the diurnal Fourier harmonic…
