Toroidal Atmospheres around Extrasolar Planets
Jupiter and Saturn have extended, nearly toroidal atmospheres composed of material ejected from their moons or rings. Here we suggest that similar atmospheres must exist around giant extrasolar planets and might be observable in a transit of the parent star. Observation of such an atmosphere would be a marker for the presence of orbiting debris in the form of rings or moons that might otherwise...
متن کاملExtrasolar Planets around Main Sequence Stars
The mass distribution of substellar companions exhibits a steep rise for masses below 5 MJ. Thus, the 14 companions having Msin i = 0.5 { 5 MJ are considered the best candidate planets around main sequence stars. The occurrence of such planets within 3 AU is 4%, but 2/3 of them orbit within just 0.3 AU. This \pile up" of planets near stars suggests that inward orbital migration occurred after f...
متن کاملOrbital Evolution and Migration of Giant Planets: Modeling Extrasolar Planets
Giant planets in circumstellar disks can migrate inward from their initial (formation) positions. Radial migration is caused by inward torques between the planet and the disk; by outward torques between the planet and the spinning star; and by outward torques due to Roche lobe overflow and consequent mass loss from the planet. We present self-consistent numerical considerations of the problem o...
متن کاملTidal Evolution of Close-in Extrasolar Planets
The distribution of eccentricities e of extrasolar planets with semimajor axes a > 0:2 AU is very uniform, and values for e are relatively large, averaging 0.3 and broadly distributed up to near 1. For a < 0:2 AU, eccentricities are much smaller (most e < 0:2), a characteristic widely attributed to damping by tides after the planets formed and the protoplanetary gas disk dissipated.Most previou...
متن کاملOrbital evolution around irregular
The new prooles of the space missions aimed at asteroids and comets, moving from y{bys to rendez{ vous and orbiting, call for new spaceeight dynamics tools capable of propagating orbits in an accurate way around these small irregular objects. Moreover, interesting celestial mechanics and planetary science problems, requiring the same sophisticated tools, have been raised by the rst images of as...
