Doomed Worlds II: Reassessing Suggestions of Orbital Decay for TrES-5 b
Marvin Rothmeier, Elisabeth R. Adams, Karsten Schindler +9
TrES-5b is one of only three ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs) with suggestions of a possibly decreasing orbital period that have persisted through multiple independent analyses (G. Maciej…
Metrics for Optimizing Searches for Orbital Precession and Tidal Decay via Transit- and Occultation-Timing
Brian Jackson, Elisabeth R. Adams, Rachel M. Huchmala +4
Short-period exoplanets may exhibit orbital precession driven by several different processes, including tidal interactions with their host stars and secular interactions with addit…
Doomed Worlds I: No new evidence for orbital decay in a long-term survey of 43 ultra-hot Jupiters
Elisabeth R. Adams, Brian Jackson, Amanda A. Sickafoose +8
Ultra-hot Jupiters are likely doomed by tidal forces to undergo orbital decay and eventual disruption by their stars, but the timescale over which this process unfolds is unknown.…
Jovian sodium nebula and Io plasma torus S and brightnesses 2017 -- 2023: insights into volcanic vs. sublimation supply
Jeffrey P. Morgenthaler, Carl A. Schmidt, Marissa F. Vogt +2
We present first results derived from the largest collection of contemporaneously recorded Jovian sodium nebula and Io plasma torus (IPT) in [S II] 673.1 nm images assembled to dat…
Metrics for Optimizing Searches for Tidally Decaying Exoplanets
Brian Jackson, Elisabeth R. Adams, Jeffrey P. Morgenthaler
Tidal interactions between short-period exoplanets and their host stars drive orbital decay and have likely led to engulfment of planets by their stars. Precise transit timing surv…
Io's Optical Aurorae in Jupiter's Shadow
Carl Schmidt, Mikhail Sharov, Katherine de Kleer +13
Decline and recovery timescales surrounding eclipse are indicative of the controlling physical processes in Io's atmosphere. Recent studies have established that the majority of Io…
Large Volcanic Event on Io Inferred from Jovian Sodium Nebula Brightening
Jeffrey P. Morgenthaler, Julie A. Rathbun, Carl A. Schmidt +2
Using narrow-band images recorded on over 150 nights by the 35 cm coronagraph which comprises PSI's Io Input/Output Facility (IoIO), we detected a 6-month long enhancement in the J…
Evolution of HO, CO, and CO Production in Comet C/2009 P1 Garradd During the 2011-2012 Apparition
Adam J. McKay, Anita L. Cochran, Michael A. DiSanti +6
We present analysis of high spectral resolution NIR spectra of CO and HO in comet C/2009 P1 (Garradd) taken during its 2011-2012 apparition with the CSHELL instrument on NASA's…
GALEX FUV Observations of Comet C/2004 Q2 (Machholz): The Ionization Lifetime of Carbon
Jeffrey P. Morgenthaler, Walter M. Harris, Michael R. Combi +2
We present a measurement of the lifetime of ground state atomic carbon, C(^3P), against ionization processes in interplanetary space and compare it to the lifetime expected from th…
GALEX Observations of CS and OH Emission in Comet 9P/Tempel 1 During Deep Impact
Paul D. Feldman, Stephan R. McCandliss, Jeffrey P. Morgenthaler +3
GALEX observations of comet 9P/Tempel 1 using the near ultraviolet (NUV) objective grism were made before, during and after the Deep Impact event that occurred on 2005 July 4 at 05…
