An analytical framework for atmospheric tides on rocky planets. I. Formulation
Pierre Auclair-Desrotour, Mohammad Farhat, Gwenaël Boué +1
Atmospheric thermal tides arise from the diurnal contrast in stellar irradiation. They exert a significant influence on the long-term rotational evolution of rocky planets because…
Anisotropic tidal dissipation in misaligned planetary systems
Pierre Auclair-Desrotour, Gwenaël Boué, Baptiste Loire
Tides are the main driving force behind the long-term evolution of planetary systems. The associated energy dissipation and momentum exchanges are commonly described by Love number…
Tides on Lava Worlds: Application to Close-in Exoplanets and the Early Earth-Moon System
Mohammad Farhat, Pierre Auclair-Desrotour, Gwenaël Boué +2
Understanding the physics of planetary magma oceans has been the subject of growing efforts, in light of the increasing abundance of Solar system samples and extrasolar surveys. A…
Thermal tides on rocky planets through a novel fully analytical solution
Pierre Auclair-Desrotour, Mohammad Farhat, Gwenaël Boué +2
Thermal tides are atmospheric tides caused by variations in day-night insolation, similar to gravitational tides but with key differences. While both result in delayed mass redistr…
Tidal evolution of Earth-like planets in the habitable zone of low-mass stars
E. F. S. Valente, A. C. M. Correia, P. Auclair-Desrotour +2
Earth-like planets in the habitable zone of low-mass stars undergo strong tidal effects that modify their spin states. These planets are expected to host dense atmospheres that can…
Can one hear supercontinents in the tides of ocean planets?
Pierre Auclair-Desrotour, Mohammad Farhat, Gwenaël Boué +2
Recent observations and theoretical progress made about the history of the Earth-Moon system suggest that tidal dissipation in oceans primarily drives the long term evolution of or…
Thermal tides in neutrally stratified atmospheres: Revisiting the Earth's Precambrian rotational equilibrium
Mohammad Farhat, Pierre Auclair-Desrotour, Gwenaël Boué +2
Rotational dynamics of the Earth, over geological timescales, have profoundly affected local and global climatic evolution, probably contributing to the evolution of life. To bette…
Did atmospheric thermal tides cause a daylength locking in the Precambrian? A review on recent results
Jacques Laskar, Mohammad Farhat, Margriet L. Lantink +3
After the initial suggestion by Zahnle and Walker (1987) that the torque accelerating the spin rate of the Earth and produced by the heating of the atmosphere by the Sun could coun…
The Resonant Tidal Evolution of the Earth-Moon Distance
Mohammad Farhat, Pierre Auclair-Desrotour, Gwenaël Boué +1
Due to tidal interactions in the Earth-Moon system, the spin of the Earth slows down and the Moon drifts away. This recession of the Moon is now measured with great precision, but…
Meta-modelling the climate of dry tide locked rocky planets
Pierre Auclair-Desrotour, Russell Deitrick, Kevin Heng
Rocky planets hosted by close-in extrasolar systems are likely to be tidally locked in 1:1 spin-orbit resonance, a configuration where they exhibit permanent dayside and nightside.…
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…
