On the equilibrium rotation of Earth-like extra-solar planets
Alexandre C. M. Correia, Benjamin Levrard, Jacques Laskar
The equilibrium rotation of tidally evolved "Earth-like" extra-solar planets is often assumed to be synchronous with their orbital mean motion. The same assumption persisted for Me…
An extrasolar planetary system with three Neptune-mass planets
C. Lovis, M. Mayor, F. Pepe +11
Over the past two years, the search for low-mass extrasolar planets has led to the detection of seven so-called 'hot Neptunes' or 'super-Earths' around Sun-like stars. These planet…
Tidal dissipation within hot Jupiters: a new appraisal
Benjamin Levrard, Alexandre Morgado Correia, Gilles Chabrier +3
Eccentricity or obliquity tides have been proposed as the missing energy source that may explain the anomalously large radius of some transiting ``hot Jupiters''. To maintain a non…
