Magnetic effect on equilibrium tides and its influence on the orbital evolution of binary systems
Xing Wei
In the standard theory of equilibrium tides, hydrodynamic turbulence is considered. In this paper we study the effect of magnetic fields on equilibrium tides. We find that the turb…
Tidal dynamo in solar-like close binary stars
Xing Wei
Thermal convection is commonly believed to be the energy source of stellar or planetary dynamo. In this short paper we provide another possibility, namely large-scale tidal flow. I…
Why hot Jupiters can be large but not too large
Qiang Hou, Xing Wei
Tidal heating is often used to interpret "radius anomaly" of hot Jupiters (i.e. radii of a large fraction of hot Jupiters are in excess of 1.2 Jupiter radius which cannot be interp…
Estimations and scaling laws for stellar magnetic fields
Xing Wei
In rapidly rotating turbulence (Rossby number much less than unity), the standard mixing length theory for turbulent convection breaks and Coriolis force enters the force balance s…
