The radius anomaly in the planet/brown dwarf overlapping mass regime
Jérémy Leconte, Gilles Chabrier, Isabelle Baraffe +1
The recent detection of the transit of very massive substellar companions (CoRoT-3b, Deleuil et al. 2008; CoRoT-15b, Bouchy et al. 2010; WASP-30b, Anderson et al. 2010; Hat-P-20b,…
Is tidal heating sufficient to explain bloated exoplanets? Consistent calculations accounting for finite initial eccentricity
Jérémy Leconte, Gilles Chabrier, Isabelle Baraffe +1
In this paper, we present the consistent evolution of short-period exoplanets coupling the tidal and gravothermal evolution of the planet. Contrarily to previous similar studies, o…
Structure and evolution of the first CoRoT exoplanets: Probing the Brown Dwarf/Planet overlapping mass regime
J. Leconte, I. Baraffe, G. Chabrier +2
We present detailed structure and evolution calculations for the first transiting extrasolar planets discovered by the space-based CoRoT mission. Comparisons between theoretical an…
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…
Habitable planets around the star Gl 581?
Franck Selsis, J. F. Kasting, B. Levrard +3
Radial velocity surveys are now able to detect terrestrial planets at habitable distance from M-type stars. Recently, two planets with minimum masses below 10 Earth masses were rep…
A proof that tidal heating in a synchronous rotation is always larger than in an asymptotic nonsynchronous rotation state
Benjamin Levrard
In a recent paper, Wisdom (2007, Icarus, in press) derived concise expressions for the rate of tidal dissipation in a synchronously rotating body for arbitrary orbital eccentricity…
