Nightside condensation of iron in an ultrahot giant exoplanet

D Ehrenreich, C Lovis, R Allart, MR Zapatero Osorio… - Nature, 2020 - nature.com
Ultrahot giant exoplanets receive thousands of times Earth's insolation 1, 2. Their high-
temperature atmospheres (greater than 2,000 kelvin) are ideal laboratories for studying …

A compositional link between rocky exoplanets and their host stars

V Adibekyan, C Dorn, SG Sousa, NC Santos, B Bitsch… - Science, 2021 - science.org
Stars and planets both form by accreting material from a surrounding disk. Because they
grow from the same material, theory predicts that there should be a relationship between …

from the HARPS archive. We start, in this first paper, by presenting a catalogue of …

Detection of the tidal deformation of WASP-103b at 3 σ with CHEOPS

SCC Barros, B Akinsanmi, G Boué, AMS Smith… - Astronomy & …, 2022 - aanda.org
Context. Ultra-short period planets undergo strong tidal interactions with their host star which
lead to planet deformation and orbital tidal decay. Aims. WASP-103b is the exoplanet with …

The changing face of AU Mic b: stellar spots, spin-orbit commensurability, and transit timing variations as seen by CHEOPS and TESS

GM Szabó, D Gandolfi, A Brandeker… - Astronomy & …, 2021 - aanda.org

formation and two transiting warm Neptunes near mean-motion resonances. Here we …

Hot Jupiters are destroyed by tides while their host stars are on the main sequence

JH Hamer, KC Schlaufman - The Astronomical Journal, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
While cooler giant planets are often observed with nonzero eccentricities, the short-period
circular orbits of hot Jupiters suggest that they lose orbital energy and angular momentum …
