Magnetohydrodynamical torsional oscillations from thermo-resistive instability in hot jupiters
Raphaël Hardy, Paul Charbonneau, Andrew Cumming
Hot jupiter atmospheres may be subject to a thermo-resistive instability where an increase in the electrical conductivity due to ohmic heating results in runaway of the atmospheric…
Fast neutrino cooling in the accreting neutron star MXB 1659-29
Melissa Mendes, Farrukh J. Fattoyev, Andrew Cumming +1
Modelling of crust heating and cooling across multiple accretion outbursts of the low mass X-ray binary MXB 1659-29 indicates that the neutrino luminosity of the neutron star core…
Probing dense matter physics with transiently-accreting neutron stars: the case of source MXB 1659-29
Melissa Mendes, Farrukh J. Fattoyev, Andrew Cumming +1
Recent observational data on transiently-accreting neutron stars has unequivocally shown fast-cooling sources, such as in the case of neutron star MXB 1659-29. Previous calculation…
The effect of late giant collisions on the atmospheres of protoplanets and the formation of cold sub-Saturns
Mohamad Ali-Dib, Andrew Cumming, Douglas N. C. Lin
We investigate the origins of cold sub-Saturns (CSS), an exoplanetary population inferred from microlensing surveys. If confirmed, these planets would rebut a theorised gap in plan…
Cooling Delays from Iron Sedimentation and Iron Inner Cores in White Dwarfs
M. E. Caplan, I. F. Freeman, C. J. Horowitz +2
Do white dwarfs have inner cores made of iron? Neutron rich nuclei like Fe experience a net gravitational force and sediment toward the core. Using new phase diagrams and mo…
The Challenge of Forming a Fuzzy Core in Jupiter
Simon Müller, Ravit Helled, Andrew Cumming
Recent structure models of Jupiter that match Juno gravity data suggest that the planet harbours an extended region in its deep interior that is enriched in heavy elements, a so-ca…
