Case Study of a Super-eccentric Warm Jupiter Migrating via Equilibrium and Dynamical Tides
Donald Liveoak, Sarah Millholland, Michelle Vick
A leading theory for hot Jupiter formation is high-eccentricity migration, in which planets are born at large separations and excited to near-unity eccentricities, creating extreme…
Self-consistent Dynamical and Chaotic Tides in the REBOUNDx framework
Donald J. Liveoak, Sarah C. Millholland, Michelle Vick +1
At high eccentricities, tidal forcing excites vibrational modes within orbiting bodies known as dynamical tides. In this paper, we implement the coupled evolution of these modes wi…
High-Eccentricity Migration with Disk-Induced Spin-Orbit Misalignment: a Preference for Perpendicular Hot Jupiters
Michelle Vick, Yubo Su, Dong Lai
High-eccentricity migration is a likely formation mechanism for many observed hot Jupiters, particularly those with a large misalignment between the stellar spin axis and orbital a…
Tidal Wave Breaking in the Eccentric Lead-In to Mass Transfer and Common Envelope Phases
Morgan MacLeod, Michelle Vick, Abraham Loeb
The evolution of many close binary and multiple star systems is defined by phases of mass exchange and interaction. As these systems evolve into contact, tidal dissipation is not a…
Tidal Dissipation Impact on the Eccentric Onset of Common Envelope Phases in Massive Binary Star Systems
Michelle Vick, Morgan MacLeod, Dong Lai +1
Tidal dissipation due to turbulent viscosity in the convective regions of giant stars plays an important role in shaping the orbits of pre-common envelope systems. Such systems are…
Tidal Evolution of Eccentric Binaries Driven by Convective Turbulent Viscosity
Michelle Vick, Dong Lai
Tidal dissipation due to convective turbulent viscosity shapes the evolution of a variety of astrophysical binaries. For example, this type of dissipation determines the rate of or…
