Planetary Transits and Tidal Evolution
Brian Jackson, Rory Barnes, Richard Greenberg
Transiting planets are generally close enough to their host stars that tides may govern their orbital and thermal evolution of these planets. We present calculations of the tidal e…
Tidal Heating of Terrestrial Extra-Solar Planets and Implications for their Habitability
Brian Jackson, Rory Barnes, Richard Greenberg
The tidal heating of hypothetical rocky (or terrestrial) extra-solar planets spans a wide range of values depending on stellar masses and initial orbits. Tidal heating may be suffi…
Tides and the Evolution of Planetary Habitability
Rory Barnes, Sean N. Raymond, Brian Jackson +1
Tides raised on a planet by its host star's gravity can reduce a planet's orbital semi-major axis and eccentricity. This effect is only relevant for planets orbiting very close to…
Tidal Heating of Extra-Solar Planets
Brian Jackson, Richard Greenberg, Rory Barnes
Extra-solar planets close to their host stars have likely undergone significant tidal evolution since the time of their formation. Tides probably dominated their orbital evolution…
Apsidal Behavior Among Planetary Orbits: Testing the Planet-Planet Scattering Model
Rory Barnes, Richard Greenberg
Planets in extrasolar systems tend to interact such that their orbits lie near a boundary between apsidal libration and circulation, a "separatrix", with one eccentricity periodica…
Stability Limits in Extra-solar Planetary Systems
Rory Barnes, Richard Greenberg
Two types of stability boundaries exist for any planetary system consisting of one star and two planets. Lagrange stability requires that the planets remain bound to the star, cons…
