Global simulations of protoplanetary disks with net magnetic flux: I. Non-ideal MHD case

William Béthune, Geoffroy Lesur, Jonathan Ferreira

The planet-forming region of protoplanetary disks is cold, dense, and therefore weakly ionized. For this reason, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence is thought to be mostly absent…

On the radial velocity detection of additional planets in transiting, slowly rotating M-dwarf systems: the case of GJ 1132

Ryan Cloutier, René Doyon, Kristen Menou +3

M-dwarfs are known to commonly host high-multiplicity planetary systems. Therefore M-dwarf planetary systems with a known transiting planet are expected to contain additional small…

Absolute densities, masses, and radii of the WASP-47 system determined dynamically

J. M. Almenara, R. F. Díaz, X. Bonfils +1

We present a self-consistent modelling of the available light curve and radial velocity data of WASP-47 that takes into account the gravitational interactions between all known bod…
