Response to "Concerning Thermal Tides on Hot Jupiters" (Goodman 2009; arXiv: 0901.3279)

Phil Arras, Aristotle Socrates

Motivated by the comments of Goodman (2009) on our paper concerning thermal tides (Arras and Socrates 2009a), we have studied an idealized problem to understand the global response…

Thermal Tides in Fluid Extrasolar Planets

Phil Arras, Aristotle Socrates

Asynchronous rotation and orbital eccentricity lead to time-dependent irradiation of the close-in gas giant exoplanets -- the hot Jupiters. This time-dependent surface heating give…

Massive Satellites of Close-In Gas Giant Exoplanets

Timothy A. Cassidy, Rolando Mendez, Phil Arras +2

We study the orbits, tidal heating and mass loss from satellites around close-in gas giant exoplanets. The focus is on large satellites which are potentially observable by their tr…

The Role of Planet Accretion in Creating the Next Generation of Red Giant Rapid Rotators

Joleen K. Carlberg, Steven R. Majewski, Phil Arras

Rapid rotation in field red giant stars is a relatively rare but well-studied phenomenon; here we investigate the potential role of planet accretion in spinning up these stars. Usi…

Thermal Tides in Short Period Exoplanets

Phil Arras, Aristotle Socrates

Time-dependent insolation in a planetary atmosphere induces a mass quadrupole upon which the stellar tidal acceleration can exert a force. This "thermal tide" force can give rise t…
