The EChO science case
Giovanna Tinetti, Pierre Drossart, Paul Eccleston +347
The discovery of almost 2000 exoplanets has revealed an unexpectedly diverse planet population. Observations to date have shown that our Solar System is certainly not representativ…
The effect of rotation and tidal heating on the thermal lightcurves of Super Mercuries
F. Selsis, A. -S. Maurin, F. Hersant +4
Short period (<50 days) low-mass (<10Mearth) exoplanets are abundant and the few of them whose radius and mass have been measured already reveal a diversity in composition. Some of…
Tidal dissipation and eccentricity pumping: Implications for the depth of the secondary eclipse of 55 Cnc e
Emeline Bolmont, Franck Selsis, Sean N. Raymond +4
We use the super Earth 55 Cnc e as a case study to address an observable effect of tidal heating. We investigate whether planet-planet interactions can force the eccentricity of th…
Thermal phase curves of non-transiting terrestrial exoplanets 2. Characterizing airless planets
A. S. Maurin, F. Selsis, F. Hersant +1
Context. The photometric signal we receive from a star hosting a planet is modulated by the variation of the planet signal with its orbital phase. Such phase variations are observe…
The extreme physical properties of the CoRoT-7b super-Earth
A. Léger, O. Grasset, B. Fegley +23
The search for rocky exoplanets plays an important role in our quest for extra-terrestrial life. Here, we discuss the extreme physical properties possible for the first characteriz…
