Lithologic Controls on Silicate Weathering Regimes of Temperate Planets

Kaustubh Hakim, Dan J. Bower, Meng Tian +6

Weathering of silicate rocks at a planetary surface can draw down CO from the atmosphere for eventual burial and long-term storage in the planetary interior. This process is th…

Atmospheric stability and collapse on tidally locked rocky planets

Pierre Auclair-Desrotour, Kevin Heng

Over large timescales, a terrestrial planet may be driven towards spin-orbit synchronous rotation by tidal forces. In this particular configuration, the planet exhibits permanent d…

On the impact of tides on the transit-timing fits to the TRAPPIST-1 system

Emeline Bolmont, Brice-Olivier Demory, Sergi Blanco-Cuaresma +5

Transit Timing Variations, or TTVs, can be a very efficient way of constraining masses and eccentricities of multi-planet systems. Recent measurements of the TTVs of TRAPPIST-1 led…

Final spin states of eccentric ocean planets

Pierre Auclair-Desrotour, Jérémy Leconte, Emeline Bolmont +1

Eccentricity tides generate a torque that can drive an ocean planet towards asynchronous rotation states of equilibrium when enhanced by resonances associated with the oceanic tida…

A generic frequency dependence for the atmospheric tidal torque of terrestrial planets

Pierre Auclair-Desrotour, Jérémy Leconte, Cyril Mergny

Thermal atmospheric tides have a strong impact on the rotation of terrestrial planets. They can lock these planets into an asynchronous rotation state of equilibrium. We aim at cha…

Consequences of semidiurnal thermal tides on hot Jupiters zonal mean flows

Pierre Auclair-Desrotour, Jérémy Leconte

Hot Jupiters are submitted to an intense stellar heating. The resulting thermal tides can torque their atmospheres into asynchronous rotation, while these planets are usually assum…
