Tracing the Influence of Distant companions on Exoplanetary Systems (TIDES) I. Highly Eccentric and Misaligned Binary Companions to Hot Jupiters
Marvin Morgan, Jerry W. Xuan, Brendan P. Bowler +9
The origin of hot Jupiters remains an open question. A significant fraction reside in binary or multiple star systems, suggesting that stellar companions may play an important role…
Nereid as a Regular Satellite of Neptune
Matthew Belyakov, M. Ryleigh Davis, Ian Wong +2
Nereid, Neptune's third largest moon, is considered to be a captured irregular satellite due to its highly eccentric orbit. However, among irregular satellites, Nereid is an outlie…
A Homogeneous Catalog of Rossiter-McLaughlin Systems: Distinct - Trends in Three Gas-Giant Mass Regimes
Xian-Yu Wang, Songhu Wang, Konstantin Batygin
Stellar obliquity () and orbital eccentricity () trace the dynamical histories of close-in giant planets, but the current observational picture is assembled from heterogeneou…
Callisto's Nonresonant Orbit as an Outcome of Circum-Jovian Disk Substructure
Teng Ee Yap, Konstantin Batygin
The Galilean moons of Io, Europa, and Ganymede exhibit a 4:2:1 commensurability in their mean motions, a configuration known as the Laplace resonance. The prevailing view for the o…
From Tides to Currents: Unraveling the Mechanism That Powers WASP-107b's Internal Heat Flux
Konstantin Batygin
The sub-Jovian exoplanet WASP-107b ranks among the best-characterized low-density worlds, featuring a Jupiter-like radius and a mass that lies firmly in the sub-Saturn range. Recen…
Updated Mass, Eccentricity, and Tidal Heating Constraints for the Earth-sized Planet LP 791-18 d
Michael Greklek-McKeon, Heather A. Knutson, W. Garrett Levine +5
LP 791-18 d is a temperate Earth-sized planet orbiting a late M dwarf, surrounded by an interior super-Earth (LP 791-18 b, = 1.2 , days) and an exterior…
RV measurements of directly imaged brown dwarf GQ Lup B to search for exo-satellites
Katelyn Horstman, Jean-Baptiste Ruffio, Konstantin Batygin +35
GQ Lup B is one of the few substellar companions with a detected cicumplanetary disk, or CPD. Observations of the CPD suggest the presence of a cavity, possibly formed by an exo-sa…
