Breaking the Mass Inclination Degeneracy of Radial Velocity Measurements via Monitoring von Zeipel-Lidov-Kozai Cycles: Implications in the HD 41004 System
Zhizhen Qin, Shang-Fei Liu, Bo Ma +1
We investigate the dynamical stability of the S-type planet in the compact binary HD 41004. Using -body simulations, we find that the planet could be dynamically stable at a mut…
Exoplanet Ephemerides Change Observations (ExoEcho). II. Transit timing variation analysis of Brown Dwarfs around Solar-type Stars
Wenqin Wang, Xinyue Ma, Zhangliang Chen +3
Transit timing variation (TTV) is a useful tool for studying the orbital properties of transiting objects. However, few TTV studies have been done on transiting brown dwarfs (BDs)…
Irradiated Atmospheres I: Heating by Vertical-Mixing Induced Energy Transport
Wei Zhong, Zhen-Tai Zhang, Hui-Sheng Zhong +3
Observations have revealed unique temperature profiles in hot Jupiter atmospheres. We propose that the energy transport by vertical mixing could lead to such thermal features. In o…
Constraining the Presence of Companion Planets in Hot Jupiter Planetary System Using TTV Observation from TESS
Zixin Zhang, Wenqin Wang, Xinyue Ma +7
The presence of another planetary companion in a transiting exoplanet system can impact its transit light curve, leading to sinusoidal transit timing variations (TTV). By utilizing…
