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…
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…
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…
