On the Surface Heating of Synchronously-Spinning Short-Period Jovian Planets
Andreas Burkert, Douglas Lin, Peter Bodenheimer +2
We consider the atmospheric flow on short-period extra-solar planets through two-dimensional numerical simulations of hydrodynamics with radiation transfer. One side is always expo…
On the Radii of Extrasolar Giant Planets
P. Bodenheimer, G. Laughlin, D. N. C. Lin
We have computed evolutionary models for extrasolar planets which range in mass from 0.1 to 3.0 Jovian Masses, and which range in equilibrium temperature from 113 K to 2000 K. We p…
The Effect of Tidal Inflation Instability on the Mass and Dynamical Evolution of Extrasolar Planets with Ultra-Short Periods
Pin-Gao Gu, Doug Lin, Peter Bodenheimer
We investigate the possibility of substantial inflation of short-period Jupiter-mass planets, as a result of their internal tidal dissipation associated with the synchronization an…
