A Super-Earth and two Neptunes Orbiting the Nearby Sun-like star 61 Virginis
Steven S. Vogt, Robert A. Wittenmyer, R. Paul Butler +10
We present precision radial velocity (RV) data that reveal a multiple exoplanet system orbiting the bright nearby G5V star 61 Virginis. Our 4.6 years of combined Keck/HIRES and Ang…
A Super-Earth Orbiting the Nearby Sun-like Star HD 1461
Eugenio J. Rivera, R. Paul Butler, Steven S. Vogt +3
We present precision radial velocity data that reveal a Super-Earth mass planet and two probable additional planets orbiting the bright nearby G0V star HD 1461. Our 12.8 years of K…
Transmission Spectra of Three-Dimensional Hot Jupiter Model Atmospheres
J. J. Fortney, M. Shabram, A. P. Showman +4
We compute models of the transmission spectra of planets HD 209458b, HD 189733b, and generic hot Jupiters. We examine the effects of temperature, surface gravity, and metallicity f…
Protoplanetary migration in turbulent isothermal disks
C. Baruteau, D. N. C. Lin
In order to reproduce the statistical properties of the observed exoplanets, population synthesis models have shown that the migration of protoplanets should be significantly slowe…
The Interior Structure, Composition, and Evolution of Giant Planets
Jonathan J. Fortney, Nadine Nettelmann
We discuss our current understanding of the interior structure and thermal evolution of giant planets. This includes the gas giants, such as Jupiter and Saturn, that are primarily…
The thermal emission of the young and massive planet CoRoT-2b at 4.5 and 8 microns
M. Gillon, A. A. Lanotte, T. Barman +16
We report measurements of the thermal emission of the young and massive planet CoRoT-2b at 4.5 and 8 microns with the Spitzer Infrared Array Camera (IRAC). Our measured occultation…
Metallicity of the Massive Protoplanets Around HR 8799 If Formed by Gravitational Instability
R. Helled, P. Bodenheimer
The final composition of giant planets formed as a result of gravitational instability in the disk gas depends on their ability to capture solid material (planetesimals) during the…
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…
The Formation of Uranus and Neptune in Solid-Rich Feeding Zones: Connecting Chemistry and Dynamics
Sarah E. Dodson-Robinson, Peter Bodenheimer
The core accretion theory of planet formation has at least two fundamental problems explaining the origins of Uranus and Neptune: (1) dynamical times in the trans-Saturnian solar n…
Spitzer IRAC Secondary Eclipse Photometry of the Transiting Extrasolar Planet HAT-P-1b
Kamen Todorov, Drake Deming, Jospeph Harrington +5
We report Spitzer/IRAC photometry of the transiting giant exoplanet HAT-P-1b during its secondary eclipse. This planet lies near the postulated boundary between the pM and pL-class…
The Case of AB Aurigae's Disk in Polarized Light: Is There Truly a Gap?
Marshall D. Perrin, Glenn Schneider, Gaspard Duchene +4
Using the NICMOS coronagraph, we have obtained high-contrast 2.0 micron imaging polarimetry and 1.1 micron imaging of the circumstellar disk around AB Aurigae on angular scales of…
Refining Exoplanet Ephemerides and Transit Observing Strategies
Stephen R. Kane, Suvrath Mahadevan, Kaspar von Braun +2
Transiting planet discoveries have yielded a plethora of information regarding the internal structure and atmospheres of extra-solar planets. These discoveries have been restricted…
A torque formula for non-isothermal Type I planetary migration - I. Unsaturated horseshoe drag
S. Paardekooper, C. Baruteau, A. Crida +1
We study the torque on low-mass planets embedded in protoplanetary discs in the two-dimensional approximation, incorporating non-isothermal effects. We couple linear estimates of t…
The 8 Micron Phase Variation of the Hot Saturn HD 149026b
Heather A. Knutson, David Charbonneau, Nicolas B. Cowan +4
We monitor the star HD 149026 and its Saturn-mass planet at 8.0 micron over slightly more than half an orbit using the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) on the Spitzer Space Telescope.…
On the eccentricity of self-gravitating circumstellar disks in eccentric binary systems
F. Marzari, H. Scholl, P. Thebault +1
We study the evolution of circumstellar massive disks around the primary star of a binary system focusing on the computation of disk eccentricity. In particular, we concentrate on…
Determination of the Interior Structure of Transiting Planets in Multiple-Planet Systems
Konstantin Batygin, Peter Bodenheimer, Gregory Laughlin
Tidal dissipation within a short-period transiting extrasolar planet perturbed by a companion object can drive orbital evolution of the system to a so-called tidal fixed point, in…
Systemic: A Testbed For Characterizing the Detection of Extrasolar Planets. I. The Systemic Console Package
Stefano Meschiari, Aaron Wolf, Eugenio Rivera +3
We present the systemic Console, a new all-in-one, general-purpose software package for the analysis and combined multiparameter fitting of Doppler radial velocity (RV) and transit…
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…
Planetesimal and Protoplanet Dynamics in a Turbulent Protoplanetary Disk: Ideal Unstratified Disks
Chao-Chin Yang, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low, Kristen Menou
The dynamics of planetesimals and planetary cores may be strongly influenced by density perturbations driven by magneto-rotational turbulence in their natal protoplanetary gas disk…
A Quasi-Stationary Solution to Gliese 436b's Eccentricity
Konstantin Batygin, Gregory Laughlin, Stefano Meschiari +3
We investigate the possibility that the large orbital eccentricity of the transiting Neptune-mass planet Gliese 436b is maintained in the face of tidal dissipation by a second plan…
OSETI with STACEE: A Search for Nanosecond Optical Transients from Nearby Stars
D. S. Hanna, J. Ball, C. E. Covault +13
