PANEL (A): Diagram of the net tidal accelerations acting on the planetary surface (caused by the host star’s gravity field). The planet is represented with a top view (i.e., as seen from above). Accelerations are computed in the reference frame of the planetary center. PANEL (B): Representation of the tidal bulge. The planet is represented with a top view. Planetary spinning (black arrow) is counterclockwise, as is the orbital motion around the star (red arrow). -- astro-ph.EP

Simulation Of The Spin Evolution Of Some Selected Exoplanets And Inferences On Their Climate

by Keith CowingMay 20, 2026May 20, 2026

In this work, using the simulator VPLanet, we analyze the spin evolution of some selected exoplanets due to the tidal interaction with their host star.

Internal ocean probabilities of the investigated exoplanets. The colour bar depicts the probability of each planet having a liquid water reservoir in its interior. Red colours imply a high probability, while planets with dark blue circles are less likely to have internal oceans. The HZ, shown as a green band only for illustrative purposes, was calculated based on stellar parameters from theoretical stellar evolution models. -- astro-ph.EP

Water Content Of Rocky Exoplanets In The Habitable Zone

by Keith CowingDecember 4, 2023December 4, 2023

In this study we investigated the interiors of rocky exoplanets in order to identify those that may have large quantities of water.
