Planet-star interactions with precise transit timing. V. Tidal decay of hot Jupiters through wave breaking
J. Golonka, G. Maciejewski
Tidal interactions shape the evolution of close-in giant planets and internal gravity-wave breaking offers an efficient pathway for dynamical-tide dissipation, although its populat…
Superhumps in active dwarf novae. Part I: ER Ursae Majoris
K. Bakowska, B. Kirpluk, P. Zielinski +4
We report photometry results of a frequently outbursting dwarf nova, ER Ursae Majoris. To measure the outburst parameters of the system, we carried out analyses of the light curve,…
Asteroid sizes determined with thermophysical model and stellar occultations
A. Choukroun, A. Marciniak, J. Äurech +165
Context. The sizes of many asteroids, especially slowly rotating, low-amplitude targets, remain poorly constrained due to selection effects. These biases limit the availability of…
Planet-star interactions with precise transit timing. IV. Probing the regime of dynamical tides for GK host stars
G. Maciejewski, J. Golonka, M. Fernandez +3
Statistical studies show that stars of GK spectral types, with masses below 1.1 Sun mass, are depleted in hot Jupiters. This finding is evidence of tidal orbital decay during the m…
