The effects of star-gas interactions on binary evolution in open clusters
Jixuan Yang, Lile Wang, Xinyu Li +3
Star-gas interactions can provide gravitational feedback that influences the dynamical evolution of stellar clusters, through processes such as dynamical friction (DF) and its non-…
Tides in Massive Binaries: Numerical Solutions and Semi-Analytical Comparisons
Meng Sun, Hongbo Xia, Seth Gossage +5
We present a systematic comparison between the tidal secular evolution timescales predicted by the direct numerical method and those given by the commonly used semi-analytic prescr…
Numerical Non-Adiabatic Tidal Calculations with GYRE-tides: The WASP-12 Test Case
Meng Sun, Richard H. D. Townsend, Hongbo Xia +1
We revisit the tidal evolution of the WASP-12 system using direct numerical calculations with the GYRE-tides code. WASP-12b is a hot Jupiter on a 1.1-day orbit around a slightly ev…
Planetary Edge Trends (PET). I. The Inner Edge-Stellar Mass Correlation
Meng-Fei Sun, Ji-Wei Xie, Ji-Lin Zhou +3
The position of the innermost planet (i.e., the inner edge) in a planetary system provides important information about the relationship of the entire system to its host star proper…
