Simulations of a Conducting Sphere Moving through Magnetized Plasma II: Effect of Internal Magnetic Fields and Enhancement of Alfvénic Drag
Nicholas Corso, Dong Lai
Magnetic interaction between astrophysical objects can play an important role and produce electromagnetic radiation in various systems, ranging from planet-moon and star-planet sys…
Transiting Planetary Systems with Distant Giant Companions Remain Moderately Coplanar
Guang-Yao Xiao, Huan-Yu Teng, Xiumin Huang +4
The mutual inclination between inner planets and distant giant companions provides an important probe of planetary system formation and dynamical evolution, yet direct measurements…
A binary origin of ultra-long period radio pulsars
Ying-Han Mao, Xiang-Dong Li, Dong Lai +2
We propose a possible binary evolution model for the formation of ultra-long period pulsars (ULPPs). The model involves two key stages: first, a neutron star (NS) in wide binaries…
Stellar Obliquity Excitation via Disk Dispersal-Driven Resonances in Binaries
Yubo Su, Dong Lai
The stellar obliquity of a planetary system is often used to help constrain the system's formation and evolution. One of the mechanisms to reorient the stellar spin involves a secu…
Metal pollution in Sun-like stars from destruction of ultra-short-period planets
Christopher E. O'Connor, Dong Lai
Chemical evidence indicates that an appreciable fraction of Sun-like stars have engulfed rocky planets during their main-sequence lifetimes. We investigate whether the tidal evolut…
Extreme resonant eccentricity excitation of stars around merging black-hole binary
Bin Liu, Dong Lai
We study the dynamics of a star orbiting a merging black-hole binary (BHB) in a coplanar triple configuration. During the BHB's orbital decay, the system can be driven across the a…
Mass Ejection Driven by Sudden Energy Deposition in Stellar Envelopes
Nicholas Corso, Dong Lai
A number of stellar astrophysical phenomena, such as tidal novae and planetary engulfment, involve sudden injection of sub-binding energy in a thin layer within the star, leading t…
Potential Melting of Extrasolar Planets by Tidal Dissipation
Darryl Z. Seligman, Adina D. Feinstein, Dong Lai +6
Tidal heating on Io due to its finite eccentricity was predicted to drive surface volcanic activity, which was subsequently confirmed by the spacecrafts. Althoug…
