Five key exoplanet questions answered via the analysis of 25 hot-Jupiter atmospheres in eclipse

Q Changeat, B Edwards, AF Al-Refaie… - The Astrophysical …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Population studies of exoplanets are key to unlocking their statistical properties. So far, the
inferred properties have been mostly limited to planetary, orbital, and stellar parameters …

Homogeneous studies of transiting extrasolar planets–IV. Thirty systems with space-based light curves

J Southworth - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical …, 2011 - academic.oup.com
I calculate the physical properties of 32 transiting extrasolar planet and brown-dwarf systems

Tidal dissipation in evolving low-mass and solar-type stars with predictions for planetary orbital decay

AJ Barker - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020 - academic.oup.com
We study tidal dissipation in stars with masses in the range 0.1–1.6 M⊙ throughout their
evolution, including turbulent effective viscosity acting on equilibrium tides and inertial …

Friends of hot Jupiters. I. A radial velocity search for massive, long-period companions to close-in gas giant planets

HA Knutson, BJ Fulton, BT Montet, M Kao… - The Astrophysical …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
In this paper we search for distant massive companions to known transiting gas giant
planets that may have influenced the dynamical evolution of these systems. We present new …

A unified theory for the atmospheres of the hot and very hot Jupiters: two classes of irradiated atmospheres

JJ Fortney, K Lodders, MS Marley… - The Astrophysical …, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
We highlight the importance of gaseous TiO and VO opacity on the highly irradiated close-in
giant planets. The day-side atmospheres of these planets naturally fall into two classes that …

Stellar clustering shapes the architecture of planetary systems

AJ Winter, JMD Kruijssen, SN Longmore, M Chevance - Nature, 2020 - nature.com
Planet formation is generally described in terms of a system containing the host star and a
protoplanetary disk,–, of which the internal properties (for example, mass and metallicity) …

Improved parameters for extrasolar transiting planets

G Torres, JN Winn, MJ Holman - The Astrophysical Journal, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
We present refined values for the physical parameters of transiting exoplanets, based on a
self-consistent and uniform analysis of transit light curves and the observable properties of …

The 3.6-8.0 μm broadband emission spectrum of HD 209458b: Evidence for an atmospheric temperature inversion

HA Knutson, D Charbonneau, LE Allen… - The Astrophysical …, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
We estimate the strength of the bandpass-integrated thermal emission from the extrasolar
planet HD 209458b at 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8.0 μm using the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) on …

Homogeneous studies of transiting extrasolar planets–I. Light-curve analyses

J Southworth - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical …, 2008 - academic.oup.com
I present a homogeneous analysis of the transit light curves of 14 well-observed transiting
extrasolar planets. The light curves are modelled using jktebop, random errors are …

Visible-light Phase Curves from the Second Year of the TESS Primary Mission

I Wong, D Kitzmann, A Shporer, K Heng… - The Astronomical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We carried out a systematic study of full-orbit phase curves for known transiting systems in
the northern ecliptic sky that were observed during Year 2 of the TESS primary mission. We …
