Tidal Effects on the Habitability of Exoplanets: The Case of GJ 581 d

Rory Barnes, Brian Jackson, René Heller +2

Tides may be crucial to the habitability of exoplanets. If such planets form around low-mass stars, then those in the circumstellar habitable zone will be close enough to their hos…

The Roles of Tidal Evolution and Evaporative Mass Loss in the Origin of CoRoT-7 b

Brian Jackson, Neil Miller, Rory Barnes +3

CoRoT-7 b is the first confirmed rocky exoplanet, but, with an orbital semi-major axis of 0.0172 AU, its origins may be unlike any rocky planet in our solar system. In this study,…

Tidal effects on brown dwarfs: Application to the eclipsing binary 2MASSJ05352184-0546085 - The anomalous temperature reversal in the context of tidal heating

René Heller, Brian Jackson, Rory Barnes +2

2MASSJ05352184-0546085 (2M0535-05) is the only known eclipsing brown dwarf (BD) binary, and so may serve as an important benchmark for models of BD formation and evolution. However…

Tidal Constraints on Planetary Habitability

Rory Barnes, Brian Jackson, Richard Greenberg +2

We review how tides may impact the habitability of terrestrial-like planets. If such planets form around low-mass stars, then planets in the circumstellar habitable zone will be cl…

CoRoT-7 b: Super-Earth or Super-Io?

Rory Barnes, Sean N. Raymond, Richard Greenberg +2

CoRoT-7 b, a planet about 70% larger than the Earth orbiting a Sun-like star, is the first-discovered rocky exoplanet, and hence has been dubbed a "super-Earth". Some initial studi…

Tidal Limits to Planetary Habitability

Rory Barnes, Brian Jackson, Richard Greenberg +1

The habitable zones of main sequence stars have traditionally been defined as the range of orbits that intercept the appropriate amount of stellar flux to permit surface water on a…
