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…
Chemical sensitivity to the ratio of the cosmic-ray ionization rates of He and H2 in dense clouds
Valentine Wakelam, Eric Herbst, Franck Selsis +1
Aim: To determine whether or not gas-phase chemical models with homogeneous and time-independent physical conditions explain the many observed molecular abundances in astrophysical…
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…
From Protoplanets to Protolife: The Emergence and Maintenance of Life
Eric Gaidos, Franck Selsis
Despite great advances in our understanding of the formation of the Solar System, the evolution of the Earth, and the chemical basis for life, we are not much closer than the ancie…
The effect of uncertainties on chemical models of dark clouds
Valentine Wakelam, Eric Herbst, Franck Selsis
The gas-phase chemistry of dark clouds has been studied with a treatment of uncertainties caused both by errors in individual rate coefficients and uncertainties in physical condit…
