Are Hot Jupiters Tidally Disrupted During Stellar Main Sequence?
Qingru Hu, Wei Zhu, Yang Huang +1
Once hot Jupiters (HJs) reach their very close orbits, they are expected to experience orbital decay due to tidal interactions with their host star. However, the strength of tidal…
TESS planets in known radial velocity cold Jupiter systems: Hot super Earth occurrence is enhanced by cold Jupiters
Quanyi Liu, Wei Zhu, Tianjun Gan +1
The correlation between inner super-Earths (SEs) and outer cold Jupiters (CJs) provides an important constraint on the formation and dynamical evolution of planetary systems. Previ…
Unexpected Near-Resonant and Metastable States of Young Multi-Planet Systems
Zhecheng Hu, Fei Dai, Wei Zhu +4
Recent observations suggest that the incidence of near-resonant planets declines as planetary systems age, making young planetary systems key signposts of early dynamical evolution…
Early Stellar Flybys are Unlikely: Improved Constraints from Sednoids and Large- TNOs
Qingru Hu, Yukun Huang, Brett Gladman +1
Sedna-like objects (a.k.a. sednoids) are transneptunian objects (TNOs) characterized by large semimajor axes and exceptionally high perihelia. Their high- orbits are detached fr…
Dependence of Planet populations on Stellar Mass and Metallicity: A Pebble Accretion-based Planet Population Synthesis
Mengrui Pan, Beibei Liu, Linjie Jiang +3
The formation and evolution of planetary systems are linked to their host stellar environment. In this study, we employ a pebble accretion-based planet population synthesis model t…
Short-Period Small Planets with High Mutual Inclinations are more Common around Metal-Rich Stars
Xinyan Hua, Sharon Xuesong Wang, Dongsheng An +7
We present a correlation between the stellar metallicities and the mutual inclinations of multi-planet systems hosting short-period small planets (a/Rs<12, Rp<4Re). We analyzed 89…
Dynamics of Binary Planets within Star Clusters
Yukun Huang, Wei Zhu, Eiichiro Kokubo
We develop analytical tools and perform three-body simulations to investigate the orbital evolution and dynamical stability of binary planets within star clusters. Our analytical r…
MAGIC: Microlensing Analysis Guided by Intelligent Computation
Haimeng Zhao, Wei Zhu
The modeling of binary microlensing light curves via the standard sampling-based method can be challenging, because of the time-consuming light-curve computation and the pathologic…
Revisiting the Long-Period Transiting Planets from Kepler
Miranda K. Herman, Wei Zhu, Yanqin Wu
Currently, we have only limited means to probe the presence of planets at large orbital separations. Foreman-Mackey et al. searched for long-period transiting planets in the Kepler…
