Higher Order Harmonics in the Light Curves of Eccentric Planetary Systems
Zephyr Penoyre, Emily Sandford
As a planet orbits, it causes periodic modulations in the light curve of its host star. Due to the combined effects of the planet raising tides on the host star, relativistic beami…

The Telltale Heartbeat: Detection and Characterization of Eccentric Orbiting Planets via Tides on their Host Star
Zephyr Penoyre, Nicholas C. Stone
We present an analytic description of tides raised on a star by a small orbiting body. In particular, we highlight the disproportionate effect of eccentricity and thus the scope fo…
