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…

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…
