Journal ArticleDOI
Pulsations in Hydrogen Burning Low Mass Helium White Dwarfs
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that He core white dwarfs may exhibit g-mode pulsations similar to their passively cooling, more massive carbon/oxygen core counterparts, the ZZ Cetis.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Model of the Hα and Na Transmission Spectrum of HD 189733b
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed hydrostatic model of the upper atmosphere of HD 189733b is presented, with the goal of constraining its temperature, particle densities, and radiation field over the pressure range.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal Structure and Radius Evolution of Irradiated Gas Giant Planets
Phil Arras,Lars Bildsten +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the thermal structure and radii of strongly irradiated gas giant planets over a range in mass and irradiating flux, and find that the cooling rate of the planet is sensitive to the surface boundary condition, which depends on the detailed manner in which starlight is absorbed and energy redistributed by fluid motion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pulsational instabilities in accreting white dwarfs
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the impact of diversity on the range of Teff for which g-mode pulsations are unstable in accreting white dwarfs in cataclysmic variables with a large range of effective temperatures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetohydrodynamic Simulations of Hot Jupiter Upper Atmospheres
TL;DR: In this paper, two-dimensional simulations of hot Jupiter upper atmosphere including the planet's magnetic field are presented to explore magnetic effects on the layer of the atmosphere that is ionized and heated by stellar EUV radiation.
