Kozai Migration Naturally Explains the White Dwarf Planet WD1856b
Diego J. Muñoz, Cristobal Petrovich
The Jovian-sized object WD~1856~b transits a white dwarf (WD) in a compact -day orbit. Unlikely to have endured stellar evolution in its current orbit, WD~1856~b is thought to…
An Ultra-Hot Neptune in the Neptune desert
James S. Jenkins, Matías R. Díaz, Nicolás T. Kurtovic +81
About one out of 200 Sun-like stars has a planet with an orbital period shorter than one day: an ultra-short-period planet (Sanchis-ojeda et al. 2014; Winn et al. 2018). All of the…
Constraining protoplanetary disks with exoplanetary dynamics: Kepler-419 as an example
Mohamad Ali-Dib, Cristobal Petrovich
We investigate the origins of Kepler-419, a peculiar system hosting two nearly coplanar and highly eccentric gas giants with apsidal orientations librating around anti-alignment, a…
A disk-driven resonance as the origin of high inclinations of close-in planets
Cristobal Petrovich, Diego J. Muñoz, Kaitlin M. Kratter +1
The recent characterization of transiting close-in planets has revealed an intriguing population of sub-Neptunes with highly tilted and even polar orbits relative to their host sta…
