The TASSIE Program. II: Three Close-In Companions Orbiting Sun-Like Stars
T. Plunkett, E. Thygesen, A. A. Cole +16
We present three southern transiting giant planet candidates alerted by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission and investigated at the University of Tasmania Gree…
Measuring Tidal Dissipation in Giant Planets from Tidal Circularization
Mohammad M. Mahmud, Kaloyan M. Penev, Joshua A. Schussler
In this project, we determined the constraints on the modified tidal quality factor, , of gas-giant planets orbiting close to their host stars. We allowed to dep…
Constraints on Tidal Quality Factor in Kepler Eclipsing Binaries using Tidal Synchronization: A Frequency-Dependent Approach
Ruskin Patel, Kaloyan Penev, Joshua Schussler
Tidal dissipation in binary systems is the primary source for synchronization and circularization of the objects in the system. The efficiency of the dissipation of tidal energy in…
Comprehensive Bayesian Modeling of Tidal Circularization in Open Cluster Binaries part I: M 35, NGC 6819, NGC 188
Kaloyan M. Penev, Joshua A. Schussler
Tidal friction has long been recognized to circularize the orbits of binary stars over time. In this study, we use the observed distribution of orbital eccentricities in population…
Constraining Tidal Quality Factor using Spin Period in Eclipsing Binaries
Ruskin Patel, Kaloyan Penev
Evolution of binary objects under the influence of tides drastically affects the expected observational properties of the system. With the discovery of a large number of close-in h…
HATS-74Ab, HATS-75b, HATS-76b and HATS-77b: Four Transiting Giant Planets around K and M Dwarfs
A. Jordán, J. D. Hartman, D. Bayliss +32
The relative rarity of giant planets around low mass stars compared with solar-type stars is a key prediction from core accretion planet formation theory. In this paper we report o…
