The Hot-jupiter Kepler-17b: Discovery, Obliquity from Stroboscopic Starspots, and Atmospheric Characterization
This paper reports the discovery and characterization of the transiting hot giant exoplanet Kepler17b. The planet has an orbital period of 1.486 days, and radial velocity measurements from the HobbyEberly Telescope show a Doppler signal of 419.5 −15.6 ms . From a transit-based estimate of the host star’s mean density, combined with an estimate of the stellar effective temperature Teff=5630± 100...
متن کاملLarge-scale variations in the obliquity of Mars.
Large-scale variations in the obliquity of the planet Mars are produced by a coupling between the motion of its orbit plane due to the gravitational perturbations of the other planets and the precession of its spin axis which results from the solar torque exerted on the equatorial bulge of the planet. The obliquity oscillates on a time scale of approximately 1.2 x 10(5) years. The amplitude of ...
متن کاملDesign of the Jupiter Accelerator for Large X-ray Yields
Nanosecond Pulsed Power provides the unique capability to deliver high energy and high power at low cost and high efficiency. One important application of this technology is to the generation of intense, highenergy laboratory X-ray sources using magnetically driven implosions. Saturn generates ~500 kilojoules of x-rays using this process. This paper presents a detailed design concept for a ~15 ...
متن کاملEvolution of Mercury’s obliquity
Mercury has a near-zero obliquity, i.e. its spin axis is nearly perpendicular to its orbital plane. The value of the obliquity must be known precisely in order to constrain the size of the planet’s core within the framework suggested by Peale [Peale, S.J., 1976. Nature 262, 765–766]. Rambaux and Bois [Rambaux, N., Bois, E., 2004. Astron. Astrophys. 413, 381–393] have suggested that Mercury’s ob...
متن کاملHabitable Climates: The Influence of Obliquity
Extrasolar terrestrial planets with the potential to host life might have large obliquities or be subject to strong obliquity variations. We revisit the habitability of oblique planets with an energy balance climate model (EBM) allowing for dynamical transitions to ice-covered snowball states as a result of ice-albedo feedback. Despite the great simplicity of our EBM, it captures reasonably wel...
