Comparison of cloud models for Brown Dwarfs

Ch. Helling, A. Ackerman, F. Allard +8

A test case comparison is presented for different dust cloud model approaches applied in brown dwarfs and giant gas planets. We aim to achieve more transparency in evaluating the u…

Habitable planets around the star Gl 581?

Franck Selsis, J. F. Kasting, B. Levrard +3

Radial velocity surveys are now able to detect terrestrial planets at habitable distance from M-type stars. Recently, two planets with minimum masses below 10 Earth masses were rep…

A proof that tidal heating in a synchronous rotation is always larger than in an asymptotic nonsynchronous rotation state

Benjamin Levrard

In a recent paper, Wisdom (2007, Icarus, in press) derived concise expressions for the rate of tidal dissipation in a synchronously rotating body for arbitrary orbital eccentricity…

Towards a Solution for the Ca II Triplet Puzzle : Results from Dwarf Elliptical Galaxies

Dolf Michielsen, Mina Koleva, Philippe Prugniel +6

We present new estimates of ages and metallicities, based on FORS/VLT optical (4400-5500A) spectroscopy, of 16 dwarf elliptical galaxies (dE's) in the Fornax Cluster and in Souther…

Formation of central massive objects via tidal compression

Eric Emsellem, Glenn van de Ven

For a density that is not too sharply peaked towards the center, the local tidal field becomes compressive in all three directions. Available gas can then collapse and form a clust…

Theory of cooling neutron stars versus observations

D. G. Yakovlev, O. Y. Gnedin, A. D. Kaminker +1

We review current state of neutron star cooling theory and discuss the prospects to constrain the equation of state, neutrino emission and superfluid properties of neutron star cor…
