Spin-orbital tidal dynamics and tidal heating in the TRAPPIST-1 multi-planet system
Valeri V. Makarov, Ciprian T. Berghea, Michael Efroimsky
We perform numerical simulations of the TRAPPIST-1 system of seven exoplanets orbiting a nearby M dwarf, starting with a previously suggested stable configuration. The long-term st…
Highly Volcanic Exoplanets, Lava Worlds, and Magma Ocean Worlds: An Emerging Class of Dynamic Exoplanets of Significant Scientific Priority
Wade G. Henning, Joseph P. Renaud, Prabal Saxena +39
Highly volcanic exoplanets, which can be variously characterized as 'lava worlds', 'magma ocean worlds', or 'super-Ios' are high priority targets for investigation. The term 'lava…
Exoplanet Science Priorities from the Perspective of Internal and Surface Processes for Silicate and Ice Dominated Worlds
Wade G. Henning, Joseph P. Renaud, Avi M. Mandell +35
The geophysics of extrasolar planets is a scientific topic often regarded as standing largely beyond the reach of near-term observations. This reality in no way diminishes the cent…
Dynamical evolution and spin-orbit resonances of potentially habitable exoplanets. The case of GJ 667C
Valeri V. Makarov, Ciprian Berghea
We investigate the dynamical evolution of the potentially habitable super-earth GJ 667Cc in the multiple system of at least two exoplanets orbiting a nearby M dwarf, paying special…
Dynamical evolution and spin-orbit resonances of potentially habitable exoplanets. The case of GJ 581d
Valeri V. Makarov, Ciprian Berghea, Michael Efroimsky
GJ 581d is a potentially habitable super-Earth in the multiple system of exoplanets orbiting a nearby M dwarf. We investigate this planet's long-term dynamics, with an emphasis on…
