Making hot Jupiters in stellar clusters II: efficient formation in binary systems
Daohai Li, Alexander J. Mustill, Melvyn B. Davies +1
Observations suggested that the occurrence rate of hot Jupiters (HJs) in open clusters is largely consistent with the field () but in the binary-rich cluster M67, the rate…
Secular dynamics of stellar spin driven by planets inside Kozai-Lidov resonance
Hanlun Lei, Yan-Xiang Gong
In many exoplanetary systems with `hot Jupiters', it is observed that the spin axes of host stars are highly misaligned to planetary orbital axes. In this study, a possible channel…
Making hot Jupiters in stellar clusters: the importance of binary exchange
Daohai Li, Alexander J. Mustill, Melvyn B. Davies +1
It has been suggested that the occurrence rate of hot Jupiters (HJs) in open clusters might reach several per cent, significantly higher than that of the field ( a per cent).…
Birth environment of circumbinary planets: are there CBPs on the inclined orbits?
Chuan-Tao Ma, Yan-Xiang Gong, Xiao-Mei Wu +1
The inclination distribution of circumbinary planets (CBPs) is an important scientific issue. It is of great significance in estimating the occurrence rate of CBPs and studying the…
Formation of S-type planets in close binaries: scattering induced tidal capture of circumbinary planets
Yan-Xiang Gong, Jianghui Ji
Although several S-type and P-type planets in binary systems were discovered in past years, S-type planets have not yet been found in close binaries with an orbital separation not…
The scattering outcomes of Kepler circumbinary planets: planet mass ratio
Yan-Xiang Gong, Jianghui Ji
Recent studies reveal that the free eccentricities of Kepler-34b and Kepler-413b are much larger than their forced eccentricities, implying that the scattering events may take plac…
The effect of planet-planet scattering on the survival of exomoons
Yan-Xiang Gong, Ji-Lin Zhou, Ji-Wei Xie +1
Compared to the giant planets in the solar system, exoplanets have many remarkable properties such as the prevalence of giant planets on eccentric orbits and the presence of hot Ju…
Terrestrial Planets Formation around Circumbinary Habitable Zone: Inward Migration in the Planetesimal Swarm
Yan-Xiang Gong, Ji-Lin Zhou, Ji-Wei Xie
According to the core accretion theory, circumbinary embryos can form only beyond a critical semimajor axis (CSMA). However, due to the relatively high density of solid materials i…
The silicate model and carbon rich model of CoRoT-7b, Kepler-9d and Kepler-10b
Yan-Xiang Gong, Ji-Lin Zhou
Possible bulk compositions of the super-Earth exoplanets, CoRoT-7b, Kepler-9d, and Kepler-10b are investigated by applying a commonly used silicate and a non-standard carbon model.…
