Self-consistent Dynamical and Chaotic Tides in the REBOUNDx framework
Donald J. Liveoak, Sarah C. Millholland, Michelle Vick +1
At high eccentricities, tidal forcing excites vibrational modes within orbiting bodies known as dynamical tides. In this paper, we implement the coupled evolution of these modes wi…
Carving Out the Inner Edge of the Period Ratio Distribution through Giant Impacts
Kaitlyn Chen, Oswaldo Cardenas, Brandon Bonifacio +3
The distribution of orbital period ratios between adjacent observed exoplanets is approximately uniform, but exhibits a strong falloff toward close orbital separations. We show tha…
SPOCK 2.0: Update to the FeatureClassifier in the Stability of Planetary Orbital Configurations Klassifier
Elio Thadhani, Yolanda Ba, Hanno Rein +1
The Stability of Planetary Orbital Configurations Klassifier (SPOCK) package collects machine learning models for predicting the stability and collisional evolution of compact plan…
Orbital Migration through Atmospheric Mass Loss
Benjamin Hanf, Will Kincaid, Hilke Schlichting +2
Atmospheric mass loss is thought to have strongly shaped the sample of close-in exoplanets. These atmospheres should be lost isotropically, leading to no net migration on the plane…
