Metrics for Optimizing Searches for Orbital Precession and Tidal Decay via Transit- and Occultation-Timing
Brian Jackson, Elisabeth R. Adams, Rachel M. Huchmala +4
Short-period exoplanets may exhibit orbital precession driven by several different processes, including tidal interactions with their host stars and secular interactions with addit…
