Sub-photospheric fluctuations in magnetized radiative envelopes: contribution from unstable magnetosonic waves
Koushik Sen, Rodrigo Fernández, Aristotle Socrates
We examine the excitation of unstable magnetosonic waves in the radiative envelopes of intermediate- and high-mass stars with a magnetic field of ~kG strength. Wind clumping close…
The Turbulent Origin of Spin-Orbit Misalignment in Planetary Systems
Drummond B. Fielding, Christopher F. McKee, Aristotle Socrates +2
The turbulent environment from which stars form may lead to misalignment between the stellar spin and the remnant protoplanetary disk. By using hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic…
Warm Jupiters Need Close "Friends" for High-Eccentricity Migration -- A Stringent Upper Limit on the Perturber's Separation
Subo Dong, Boaz Katz, Aristotle Socrates
We propose a stringent observational test on the formation of warm Jupiters (gas-giant planets with 10 d <~ P <~ 100 d) by high-eccentricity (high-e) migration mechanisms. Unlike h…
Relationship Between Thermal Tides and Radius Excess
Aristotle Socrates
Close-in extrasolar gas giants -- the hot Jupiters -- display departures in radius above the zero-temperature solution, the radius excess, that are anomalously high. The radius exc…
Photon Feedback: Screening and the Eddington Limit
Aristotle Socrates, Lorenzo Sironi
Bright star-forming galaxies radiate well below their Eddington Limit. The value of the flux-mean opacity that mediates the radiation force onto matter is orders of magnitude small…
Nonlinear Evolution of the Radiation-Driven Magneto-Acoustic Instability (RMI)
Rodrigo Fernández, Aristotle Socrates
We examine the nonlinear development of unstable magnetosonic waves driven by a background radiative flux -- the Radiation-Driven Magneto-Acoustic Instability (RMI, a.k.a. the "pho…
