Rattling Resonant Chains with Dynamical Tides and Parametric Resonance Passage
Mohammad Farhat, Eugene Chiang
Close-in sub-Neptunes are born in mean-motion resonant chains that break apart on a timescale of 100 Myr. If the chains are first ''rattled'' --- have their free eccentriciti…
Super-Earth Interiors Shrink by About 10% as They Crystallise
Tim Lichtenberg, Mara Attia, Harrison Nicholls +26
Super-Earth exoplanets are among the most abundant planets known, yet their bulk densities leave the interior state degenerate. The static structure models used to interpret them,…
Magma Ocean Waves and Thermal Variability on Lava Worlds
Mohammad Farhat, Eugene Chiang
Lava worlds are rocky planets with dayside skins made molten by stellar irradiation. Tidal heating on these shortest-period planets is more than skin deep. We show how orbital ecce…
An analytical framework for atmospheric tides on rocky planets. I. Formulation
Pierre Auclair-Desrotour, Mohammad Farhat, Gwenaël Boué +1
Atmospheric thermal tides arise from the diurnal contrast in stellar irradiation. They exert a significant influence on the long-term rotational evolution of rocky planets because…
Interior redox state effects on the stability of secondary atmospheres and observational manifestations: LP 791-18 d as a case study for outgassing rocky exoplanets
Leonardos Gkouvelis, Francisco J. Pozuelos, Thomas Drant +3
Recent advances in space and ground-based facilities now enable atmospheric characterization of a selected sample of rocky exoplanets. These atmospheres offer key insights into pla…
Tides on Lava Worlds: Application to Close-in Exoplanets and the Early Earth-Moon System
Mohammad Farhat, Pierre Auclair-Desrotour, Gwenaël Boué +2
Understanding the physics of planetary magma oceans has been the subject of growing efforts, in light of the increasing abundance of Solar system samples and extrasolar surveys. A…
Thermal tides on rocky planets through a novel fully analytical solution
Pierre Auclair-Desrotour, Mohammad Farhat, Gwenaël Boué +2
Thermal tides are atmospheric tides caused by variations in day-night insolation, similar to gravitational tides but with key differences. While both result in delayed mass redistr…
Tidal evolution of Earth-like planets in the habitable zone of low-mass stars
E. F. S. Valente, A. C. M. Correia, P. Auclair-Desrotour +2
Earth-like planets in the habitable zone of low-mass stars undergo strong tidal effects that modify their spin states. These planets are expected to host dense atmospheres that can…
Can one hear supercontinents in the tides of ocean planets?
Pierre Auclair-Desrotour, Mohammad Farhat, Gwenaël Boué +2
Recent observations and theoretical progress made about the history of the Earth-Moon system suggest that tidal dissipation in oceans primarily drives the long term evolution of or…
Thermal tides in neutrally stratified atmospheres: Revisiting the Earth's Precambrian rotational equilibrium
Mohammad Farhat, Pierre Auclair-Desrotour, Gwenaël Boué +2
Rotational dynamics of the Earth, over geological timescales, have profoundly affected local and global climatic evolution, probably contributing to the evolution of life. To bette…
Did atmospheric thermal tides cause a daylength locking in the Precambrian? A review on recent results
Jacques Laskar, Mohammad Farhat, Margriet L. Lantink +3
After the initial suggestion by Zahnle and Walker (1987) that the torque accelerating the spin rate of the Earth and produced by the heating of the atmosphere by the Sun could coun…
The case of HD 106906 debris disc: A binary's revenge
Mohammad Farhat, Antranik Sefilian, Jihad Touma
Debris disc architecture presents [exo-]planetary scientists with precious clues for processes of planet formation and evolution, including constraints on planetary mass perturbers…
The Resonant Tidal Evolution of the Earth-Moon Distance
Mohammad Farhat, Pierre Auclair-Desrotour, Gwenaël Boué +1
Due to tidal interactions in the Earth-Moon system, the spin of the Earth slows down and the Moon drifts away. This recession of the Moon is now measured with great precision, but…
Constraining the Earth's Dynamical Ellipticity from Ice Age Dynamics
Mohammad Farhat, Jacques Laskar, Gwenaël Boué
The dynamical ellipticity of a planet expresses the departure of its mass distribution from spherical symmetry. It enters as a parameter in the description of a planet's precession…
