EBLM XVII - Tidal Synchronization and Circularization in Tight Stellar Binaries
Ritika Sethi, David V. Martin, Adrian Barker +7
Tidal interactions in close stellar binaries are central to their orbital and rotational evolution, making observational tests of theoretical predictions essential for our understa…
Chasing the Tides: Searching for Orbital Decay Signatures in Transit Timing Data and Tidal Models for 20 Hot Jupiters
A. C. Kutluay, Ã. BaÅtürk, Adrian J. Barker +31
In this work, we present a transit timing variation analysis for 20 hot Jupiter systems, which we interpret with theoretical tidal dissipation models. For the majority of the sampl…
A search for transit timing variations in the transiting hot Jupiter systems HIP 65, NGTS-6, NGTS-10 and WASP-173
A. W. Griffiths, J. Southworth, L. Alegre +30
Hot Jupiters are Jupiter-mass planets with orbital periods of less than ten days. Their short orbital separations make tidal dissipation within the stellar host especially efficien…
The Orbit of WASP-4 b is in Decay
Ã. BaÅtürk, A. C. Kutluay, A. Barker +25
WASP-4 b is a hot Jupiter exhibiting a decreasing orbital period, prompting investigations into potential mechanisms driving its evolution. We analyzed 173 transit light curves, in…
