Rapid rotators revisited: absolute dimensions of KOI-13
We analyse Kepler light-curves of the exoplanet Kepler Object of Interest no. 13b (KOI-13b) transiting itsmoderately rapidly rotating (gravity-darkened) parent star. A physical model, with minimal ad hoc free parameters, reproduces the time-averaged light-curve at the∼10 parts per million level. We demonstrate that this Roche-model solution allows the absolute dimensions of the system to be det...
متن کاملThe effects of inclination, gravity darkening and differential rotation on absorption profiles of fast rotators
Mechanisms influencing absorption line profiles of fast rotating stars can be sorted into two groups; (i) intrinsic variations sensitive to temperature and pressure, and (ii) global effects common to all spectral lines. I present a detailed study on the latter effects focusing on gravity darkening and inclination for various rotational velocities and spectral types. It is shown that the line sh...
متن کاملInsolation in Titan’s troposphere
Seasonality in Titan’s troposphere is driven by latitudinally varying insolation. We show that the latitudinal distributions of insolation in the troposphere and at the surface, based on Huygens DISR measurements, can be approximated analytically with nonzero extinction optical depths s, and are not equivalent to that at the top of the atmosphere (s = 0), as has been assumed previously. This ha...
متن کاملOutflows from magnetic rotators
The asymptotic structure of outflows from rotating magnetized objects confined by a uniform external pressure is calculated. The flow is assumed to be perfect MHD, polytropic, axisymmetric and stationary. The well known associated first integrals together with the confining external pressure determine the asymptotic structure. The integrals are provided by solving the flow physics for the base ...
متن کاملSenescence is induced in individually darkened Arabidopsis leaves, but inhibited in whole darkened plants.
It has long been known that leaf senescence can be induced in many plant species by detaching leaves and placing them in the darkness. It recently has been shown that entire Arabidopsis plants placed in the darkness are not induced to senesce, as judged by visible yellowing and certain molecular markers. Here, we show that when individual Arabidopsis leaves are darkened, but not when entire pla...
