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…
A search for rocky planets transiting brown dwarfs
Amaury H. M. J. Triaud, Michael Gillon, Franck Selsis +18
Exoplanetary science has reached a historic moment. The James Webb Space Telescope will be capable of probing the atmospheres of rocky planets, and perhaps even search for biologic…
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…
Habitable Planets Eclipsing Brown Dwarfs: Strategies for Detection and Characterization
Adrian R. Belu, Franck Selsis, Sean N. Raymond +8
Given the very close proximity of their habitable zones, brown dwarfs represent high-value targets in the search for nearby transiting habitable planets that may be suitable for fo…
