The Role of Disc Self-Gravity in Circumbinary Planet Systems: I. Disc Structure and Evolution

Matthew M. Mutter, Arnaud Pierens, Richard P. Nelson

We present the results of 2-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations of self-gravitating circumbinary discs around binaries whose parameters match those of the circumbinary planet-host…

Condensation-inhibited convection in hydrogen-rich atmospheres: Stability against double-diffusive processes and thermal profiles for Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune

Jérémy Leconte, Franck Selsis, Franck Hersant +1

In an atmosphere, a cloud condensation region is characterized by a strong vertical gradient in the abundance of the related condensing species. On Earth, the ensuing gradient of m…

Measuring stellar granulation during planet transits

A. Chiavassa, A. Caldas, F. Selsis +6

Stellar activity and convection-related surface structures might cause bias in planet detection and characterization that use these transits. Surface convection simulations help to…

The habitability of Proxima Centauri b II. Possible climates and Observability

Martin Turbet, Jeremy Leconte, Franck Selsis +5

Radial velocity monitoring has found the signature of a ~M planet located within the Habitable Zone (HZ) of Proxima Centauri \citep{Anglada16}. Despite a h…

The habitability of Proxima Centauri b. I. Irradiation, rotation and volatile inventory from formation to the present

Ignasi Ribas, Emeline Bolmont, Franck Selsis +9

Proxima b is a planet with a minimum mass of 1.3 MEarth orbiting within the habitable zone (HZ) of Proxima Centauri, a very low-mass, active star and the Sun's closest neighbor. He…
