55 Cancri: A Coplanar Planetary System that is Likely Misaligned with its Star

Nathan A. Kaib, Sean N. Raymond, Martin J. Duncan

Although the 55 Cnc system contains multiple, closely packed planets that are presumably in a coplanar configuration, we use numerical simulations to demonstrate that they are like…

Thermal phase curves of non-transiting terrestrial exoplanets 2. Characterizing airless planets

A. S. Maurin, F. Selsis, F. Hersant +1

Context. The photometric signal we receive from a star hosting a planet is modulated by the variation of the planet signal with its orbital phase. Such phase variations are observe…

Tidal evolution of planets around brown dwarfs

Emeline Bolmont, Sean N. Raymond, Jérémy Leconte

The tidal evolution of planets orbiting brown dwarfs (BDs) presents an interesting case study because BDs' terrestrial planet forming region is located extremely close-in. In fact,…

Spectroscopic characterization of the atmospheres of potentially habitable planets: GL 581 d as a model case study

Philip von Paris, Juan Cabrera, Mareike Godolt +5

(abridged) The Super-Earth candidate GL 581 d is the first potentially habitable extrasolar planet. Therefore, GL 581 d is used to illustrate a hypothetical detailed spectroscopic…

Two phase, inward-then-outward migration of Jupiter and Saturn in the gaseous Solar Nebula

Arnaud Pierens, Sean N. Raymond

It has recently been shown that the terrestrial planets and asteroid belt can be reproduced if the giant planets underwent an inward-then-outward migration (the "Grand Tack"; Walsh…
