Deliquescence probability maps of Mars and key limiting factors using GCM model calculations

Bernadett D. Pál, Ákos Kereszturi

There may be a chance of small-scale ephemeral liquid water formation on present day Mars, even though the current climate does not support the existence of larger bodies of water.…

Evolution of dust in protoplanetary disks of eruptive stars

Eduard Vorobyov, Aleksandr M. Skliarevskii, Tamara Molyarova +6

Luminosity bursts in young FU Orionis-type stars warm up the surrounding disks of gas and dust, thus inflicting changes on their morphological and chemical composition. In this wor…

Lack of other molecules in CO-rich debris discs: is it primordial or secondary gas?

Grigorii V. Smirnov-Pinchukov, Attila Moór, Dmitry A. Semenov +5

The nature of the gas in CO-rich debris discs remains poorly understood, as it could either be a remnant from the earlier Class II phase or of secondary origin, driven by the destr…

Enhanced thermal radiation from a tidally heated exomoon with a single hot spot

Zoltán Jäger, Gyula M Szabó

An exomoon on a non perfectly circular orbit experiences tidal heating that is capable to significantly contribute to the thermal brightness of the moon. Here we argue that the the…

Is the orbit of the exoplanet WASP-43b really decaying? TESS and MuSCAT2 observations confirm no detection

Z. Garai, T. Pribulla, H. Parviainen +24

Up to now, WASP-12b is the only hot Jupiter confirmed to have a decaying orbit. The case of WASP-43b is still under debate. Recent studies preferred or ruled out the orbital decay…
