Stability of circumbinary planets: the role of binary properties and migration scenarios
Romain Grane, Nicolás Cuello, Mario Sucerquia +4
Among the thousands of exoplanets detected to date, only a very small fraction are classified as circumbinary planets, and this number becomes negligible when considering low-mass…
Circumbinary planets in coplanar triple-star systems: I. Minimum eccentricity variation region
Emmanuel Gianuzzi, Mario Sucerquia, Nicolás Cuello +1
We aim to determine the conditions under which Lidov-Kozai oscillations can arise for circumbinary planets in hierarchical triple-star systems, and to identify the orbital regions…
Observational Signatures of Planetary Tidal Disruption Events Around Solar-Mass Stars
Matías Montesinos, Sergei Nayakshin, Vardan Elbakyan +4
The tidal disruption of planets by their host stars represents a growing area of interest in transient astronomy, offering insights into the final stages of planetary system evolut…
Two warm Earth-sized exoplanets and an Earth-sized candidate in the M5V-M6V binary system TOI-2267
S. Zúñiga-Fernández, F. J. Pozuelos, M. Dévora-Pajares +63
We report two warm Earth-sized exoplanets orbiting the close binary TOI-2267 (M5+M6, separation ~8 au). Data from TESS and ground-based facilities confirm the planets, but we canno…
Volatile enrichment in low-mass planets: Signatures of past planetary disruption?
Mario Sucerquia, Matías Montesinos, Ana María Agudelo +1
Tidal disruption and engulfment events around main-sequence stars -- such as the luminous red nova ZTF SLRN-2020, a candidate planetary-engulfment event -- reveal the destruction o…
Orbital Decay of the Ultra-Hot Jupiter TOI-2109b: Tidal Constraints and Transit-Timing Analysis
Jaime A. Alvarado-Montes, Mario Sucerquia, Jorge I. Zuluaga +1
TOI-2109b is the ultra-hot Jupiter with the shortest orbital period (hr) yet discovered. At this close distance, strong tidal interactions can produce a significant excha…
Ionized envelopes around protoplanets and the role of radiative feedback in gas accretion
Matías Montesinos, Juan Garrido-Deutelmoser, Jorge Cuadra +5
Planetary growth within protoplanetary disks involves accreting material from their surroundings, yet the underlying mechanisms and physical conditions of the accreting gas remain…
Extreme exomoons in WASP-49 Ab: dynamics and detectability
Mario Sucerquia, Nicolás Cuello.
WASP-49Ab, a low-density, Saturn-like planet in a tight orbit around a Sun-like star within a wide binary system, is a compelling candidate for hosting a volcanic moon, as suggeste…
The missing rings around Solar System moons
Mario Sucerquia, Jaime A. Alvarado-Montes, Jorge I. Zuluaga +3
Rings are complex structures surrounding giant planets and some minor bodies in the Solar System. While some formation mechanisms could also potentially foster their existence arou…
A general polarimetric model for transiting and non-transiting ringed exoplanets
Allard K. Veenstra, Jorge I. Zuluaga, Jaime A. Alvarado-Montes +2
We explore the potential of polarimetry as a tool for detecting and characterizing exorings. For that purpose, we have improved the publicly available photometric code Pryngles by…
Alpha Centauri: Disc Dynamics, Planet Stability, Detectability
Nicolás Cuello, Mario Sucerquia
Alpha Centauri is a triple stellar system, and it contains the closest star to Earth (Proxima Centauri). Over the last decades, the stars in Alpha Cen and their orbits have been in…
The bright side of the light curve: a general photometric model of non-transiting exorings
Jorge I. Zuluaga, Mario Sucerquia, Jaime A. Alvarado-Montes
Rings around exoplanets (exorings) are one of the most expected discoveries in exoplanetary research. There is an increasing number of theoretical and observational efforts for det…
Cronomoons: origin, dynamics, and light-curve features of ringed exomoons
Mario Sucerquia, Jaime A. Alvarado-Montes, Amelia Bayo +8
In recent years, technical and theoretical work to detect moons and rings around exoplanets has been attempted. The small mass/size ratios between moons and planets means this is v…
The impact of tidal friction evolution on the orbital decay of ultra-short period planets
Jaime A. Alvarado-Montes, Mario Sucerquia, Carolina García-Carmona +3
Unveiling the fate of ultra-short period (USP) planets may help us understand the qualitative agreement between tidal theory and the observed exoplanet distribution. Nevertheless,…
Dust trapping around Lagrangian points in protoplanetary disks
Matias Montesinos, Juan Garrido-Deutelmoser, Johan Olofsson +5
Trojans are defined as objects that share the orbit of a planet at the stable Lagrangian points and . In the Solar System, these bodies show a broad size distribution ra…
Scattered light may reveal the existence of ringed exoplanets
Mario Sucerquia, Jaime A. Alvarado-Montes, Jorge I. Zuluaga +2
Rings around giant exoplanets (hereafter 'exorings') are still a missing planetary phenomenon among the vast number of discovered planets. Despite the fact there exist a large numb…
Can close-in giant exoplanets preserve detectable moons?
Mario Sucerquia, Vanesa Ramírez, Jaime A. Alvarado-Montes +1
Exoplanet discoveries have motivated numerous efforts to find unseen populations of exomoons, yet they have been unsuccessful. A plausible explanation is that most discovered plane…
Ploonets: formation, evolution and detectability of tidally detached exomoons
Mario Sucerquia, Jaime A. Alvarado-Montes, Jorge I. Zuluaga +2
Close-in giant planets represent the most significant evidence of planetary migration. If large exomoons form around migrating giant planets which are more stable (e.g. those in th…
Can we predict the impact conditions of metre-sized meteoroids?
Jorge I. Zuluaga, Pablo A. Cuartas-Restrepo, Jhonatan Ospina +1
Every year, a few metre-sized meteoroids impact the atmosphere of the Earth. Most (if not all) of them are undetectable before the impact. Therefore, predicting where and how they…
Towards a theoretical determination of the geographical probability distribution of meteoroid impacts on Earth
Jorge I. Zuluaga, Mario Sucerquia
Tunguska and Chelyabinsk impact events occurred inside a geographical area of only 3.4\% of the Earth's surface. Although two events hardly constitute a statistically significant d…
A general method for assessing the origin of interstellar small bodies: the case of 1I/2017 U1 ('Oumuamua)
Jorge I. Zuluaga, Oscar Sanchez-Hernandez, Mario Sucerquia +1
With the advent of more and deeper sky surveys, the discovery of interstellar small objects entering into the Solar System has been finally possible. In October 19, 2017, using obs…
Anomalous light curves of young tilted exorings
Mario Sucerquia, Jaime A. Alvarado-Montes, Vanesa Ramírez +1
Despite the success of discovering transiting exoplanets, several recently observed objects (e.g. KIC-8462852, J1407 and PDS-110) exhibit unconventional transit signals, whose appr…
The effect of close-in giant planets' evolution on tidal-induced migration of exomoons
Jaime A. Alvarado-Montes, Jorge I. Zuluaga, Mario Sucerquia
Hypothetical exomoons around close-in giant planets may migrate inwards and/or outwards in virtue of the interplay of the star, planet and moon tidal interactions. These processes…
