Layered semi-convection and tides in giant planet interiors
Q. André, S. Mathis, A. J. Barker
Layered semi-convection could operate in giant planets, potentially explaining the constraints on the heavy elements distribution in Jupiter deduced recently from Juno observations…
Layered semi-convection and tides in giant planet interiors - I. Propagation of internal waves
Quentin André, Adrian J. Barker, Stéphane Mathis
Layered semi-convection is a possible candidate to explain Saturn's luminosity excess and the abnormally large radius of some hot Jupiters. In giant planet interiors, it could lead…
Nonlinear tidal flows in short-period planets
Adrian J. Barker
I discuss two related nonlinear mechanisms of tidal dissipation that require finite tidal deformations for their operation: the elliptical instability and the precessional instabil…
Searching For Rapid Orbital Decay of WASP-18b
Ashlee N. Wilkins, Laetitia Delrez, Adrian J. Barker +4
The WASP-18 system, with its massive and extremely close-in planet, WASP-18b (M = 10.3M, a = 0.02 AU, P = 22.6 hours), is one of the best known exoplanet laboratories t…
