The Mysterious Inspiral of WASP-12b: Why Obliquity Tides Cannot Drive Orbital Decay
Caleb Lammers, Yubo Su, Joshua N. Winn
WASP-12b's orbit is decaying, for unknown reasons. The planet's period is shrinking more rapidly than can be attributed to equilibrium tides or dynamical tides in a main-sequence s…
Constraining Tidal Migration with the Hot Jupiter Population
Linhao Ma, Yubo Su, Samuel W. Yee +3
Hot Jupiters with orbital periods shorter than a few days have probably been affected by tidal orbital migration. We develop an analytical framework for constraining tidal migratio…
ORCHARD: A General Planetary Evolution Code
Roberto Tejada Arevalo, Adam Burrows, Ankan Sur +1
We present \texttt{ORCHARD}, a publicly available planetary evolution code based on the gas giant evolution code, \texttt{APPLE}, capable of modeling the evolution and structures o…
Saturn's Evolutionary History and Seismology: Survival of Deep Stably Stratified Regions in Evolutionary Models of Saturn Consistent with Ring Seismology
Yubo Su, Janosz W. Dewberry, Roberto Tejada Arevalo +2
With recent advances in the modeling of the solar system giant planets, rapid progress has been made in understanding the remaining questions pertaining to their formation and evol…
Atmospheric Circulation of High-Obliquity Mini-Neptunes
Yanhong Lai, Xianyu Tan, Yubo Su
With the operation of JWST, atmospheric characterization has now extended to low-mass exoplanets. In compact multiplanetary systems, secular spin-orbital resonance may preserve hig…
The Coupled Tidal Evolution of the Moons and Spins of Warm Exoplanets
Yubo Su, Melaine Saillenfest
Context: The Solar System giant planets harbour a wide variety of moons. Moons around exoplanets are plausibly similarly abundant, even though most of them are likely too small to…
The Evolution of Jupiter and Saturn as a function of the Parameter R
Ankan Sur, Adam Burrows, Roberto Tejada Arevalo +1
Computed using the APPLE planetary evolution code, we present updated evolutionary models for Jupiter and Saturn that incorporate helium rain, non-adiabatic thermal structures, and…
A third star in the HAT-P-7 system, and a new dynamical pathway to misaligned hot Jupiters
Eritas Yang, Yubo Su, Joshua N. Winn
The retrograde orbit of the hot Jupiter HAT-P-7b is suggestive of high-eccentricity migration caused by dynamical interactions with a massive companion. However, the only other kno…
Simultaneous Evolutionary Fits for Jupiter and Saturn Incorporating Fuzzy Cores
Ankan Sur, Roberto Tejada Arevalo, Yubo Su +1
With the recent realization that there likely are stably-stratified regions in the interiors of both Jupiter and Saturn, we construct new non-adiabatic, inhomogeneous evolutionary…
Surprising Spin-orbit Resonances of Rocky Planets
Henry Yuan, Yubo Su, Jeremy Goodman
Recent works suggest that, in multiplanetary systems, a close-in exoplanet can sometimes avoid becoming tidally locked to its host star if it is captured into a secular spin-orbit…
Jupiter Evolutionary Models Incorporating Stably Stratified Regions
Roberto Tejada Arevalo, Ankan Sur, Yubo Su +1
We address the issue of which broad set of initial conditions for the planet Jupiter best matches the current presence of a ``fuzzy core" of heavy elements, while at the same time…
The BANANA Project. VII. High Eccentricity Predicts Spin-Orbit Misalignment in Binaries
Marcus L. Marcussen, Simon H. Albrecht, Joshua N. Winn +3
The degree of spin-orbit alignment in a population of binary stars can be determined from measurements of their orbital inclinations and rotational broadening of their spectral lin…
APPLE: An Evolution Code for Modeling Giant Planets
Ankan Sur, Yubo Su, Roberto Tejada Arevalo +2
We introduce APPLE, a novel planetary evolution code designed specifically for the study of giant exoplanet and Jovian planet evolution in the era of Galileo, Juno, and Cassini. Wi…
Equations of State, Thermodynamics, and Miscibility Curves for Jovian Planet and Giant Exoplanet Evolutionary Models
Roberto Tejada Arevalo, Yubo Su, Ankan Sur +1
The equation of state of hydrogen-helium (H-He) mixtures plays a vital role in the evolution and structure of gas giant planets and exoplanets. Recent equations of state that accou…
Plausibility of Capture into High-Obliquity States for Exoplanets in the M Dwarf Habitable Zone
Natalia M. Guerrero, Sarah A. Ballard, Yubo Su
For temperate exoplanets orbiting M dwarf hosts, the proximity of the habitable zone to the star necessitates careful consideration of tidal effects. Spin synchronization of the pl…
