The gravitational interaction between planets on inclined orbits and protoplanetary disks as the origin of primordial spin--orbit misalignments

Titos Matsakos, Arieh Königl

Many of the observed spin--orbit alignment properties of exoplanets can be explained in the context of the primordial disk misalignment model, in which an initially aligned protopl…

A wind-driving disc model for the mm-wavelength polarization structure of HL Tau

Titos Matsakos, Petros Tzeferacos, Arieh Königl

The recent advent of spatially resolved mm- and cm-wavelength polarimetry in protostellar accretion discs could help clarify the role of magnetic fields in the angular momentum tra…

Dynamics of galaxies and clusters in \textit{refracted gravity}

Titos Matsakos, Antonaldo Diaferio

We investigate the proof of concept and the implications of \textit{refracted gravity}, a novel modified gravity aimed to solve the discrepancy between the luminous and the dynamic…

On the origin of the sub-Jovian desert in the orbital-period--planetary-mass plane

Titos Matsakos, Arieh Königl

Transit and radial velocity observations indicate a dearth of sub-Jupiter--mass planets on short-period orbits, outlined roughly by two oppositely sloped lines in the period--mass…

Modelling stellar jets with magnetospheres using as initial states analytical MHD solutions

P. Todorov, T. Matsakos, V. Cayatte +3

In this paper we focus on the construction of stellar outflow models emerging from a polar coronal hole-type region surrounded by a magnetosphere in the equatorial regions during p…
