Tidal dissipation within hot Jupiters: a new appraisal
Benjamin Levrard, Alexandre Morgado Correia, Gilles Chabrier +3
Eccentricity or obliquity tides have been proposed as the missing energy source that may explain the anomalously large radius of some transiting ``hot Jupiters''. To maintain a non…
Heat blanketing envelopes and thermal radiation of strongly magnetized neutron stars
A. Y. Potekhin, G. Chabrier, D. G. Yakovlev
Strong (B >> 10^9 G) and superstrong (B > 10^{14} G) magnetic fields profoundly affect many thermodynamic and kinetic characteristics of dense plasmas in neutron star envelopes. In…
Thermal Evolution of AM CVn Binary Donors
Christopher J. Deloye, Ronald E. Taam, Christophe Winisdoerffer +1
We discuss results of our study on AM CVn binaries formed with donors that never ignited He before contact. For the first time, we treat the donor's in these systems in the context…
Formation and structure of the three Neptune-mass planets system around HD69830
Yann Alibert, Isabelle Baraffe, Willy Benz +8
Since the discovery of the first giant planet outside the solar system in 1995 (Mayor & Queloz 1995), more than 180 extrasolar planets have been discovered. With improving detectio…
Gaseous Planets, Protostars And Young Brown Dwarfs : Birth And Fate
G. Chabrier, I. Baraffe, F. Selsis +3
We review recent theoretical progress aimed at understanding the formation and the early stages of evolution of giant planets, low-mass stars and brown dwarfs. Calculations couplin…
