Rotochemical heating of millisecond and classical pulsars with anisotropic and density-dependent superfluid gap models
Nicolás González-Jiménez, Cristobal Petrovich, Andreas Reisenegger
When a rotating neutron star loses angular momentum, the progressive reduction of the centrifugal force makes it contract. This perturbs each fluid element, raising the local press…
Hot Jupiters from Coplanar High-eccentricity Migration
Cristobal Petrovich
We study the possibility that hot Jupiters are formed through the secular gravitational interactions between two planets in eccentric orbits with relatively low mutual inclinations…
Steady-state planet migration by the Kozai-Lidov mechanism in stellar binaries
Cristobal Petrovich
We study the steady-state orbital distributions of giant planets migrating through the combination of the Kozai-Lidov (KL) mechanism due to a stellar companion and friction due to…
Scattering outcomes of close-in planets: constraints on planet migration
Cristobal Petrovich, Scott Tremaine, Roman R. Rafikov
Many exoplanets in close-in orbits are observed to have relatively high eccentricities and large stellar obliquities. We explore the possibility that these result from planet-plane…
