Tidal evolution of planets around brown dwarfs
Emeline Bolmont, Sean N. Raymond, Jérémy Leconte
The tidal evolution of planets orbiting brown dwarfs (BDs) presents an interesting case study because BDs' terrestrial planet forming region is located extremely close-in. In fact,…
Habitability of extrasolar planets and tidal spin evolution
René Heller, Rory Barnes, Jérémy Leconte
Stellar radiation has conservatively been used as the key constraint to planetary habitability. We review here the effects of tides, exerted by the host star on the planet, on the…
Distorted, non-spherical transiting planets: impact on the transit depth and on the radius determination
Jérémy Leconte, Dong Lai, Gilles Chabrier
We quantify the systematic impact of the non-spherical shape of transiting planets and brown dwarfs, due to tidal forces and rotation, on the observed transit depth. Such a departu…
Tidal obliquity evolution of potentially habitable planets
René Heller, Jérémy Leconte, Rory Barnes
Stellar insolation has been used as the main constraint on a planet's habitability. However, as more Earth-like planets are discovered around low-mass stars (LMSs), a re-examinatio…
