Empirical Constraints on Trojan Companions and Orbital Eccentricities in 25 Transiting Exoplanetary Systems
We present a search for Trojan companions to 25 transiting exoplanets. We use the technique of Ford & Gaudi, in which a difference is sought between the observed transit time and the transit time that is calculated by fitting a two-body Keplerian orbit to the radial-velocity data. This technique is sensitive to the imbalance of mass at the L4/L5 points of the planet-star orbit. No companions we...
متن کاملSubstructure in Dark Halos: Orbital Eccentricities and Dynamical Friction
The virialized regions of galaxies and clusters contain significant amounts of substructure; clusters have hundreds to thousands of galaxies, and satellite systems and globular clusters orbit the halos of individual galaxies. These orbits can decay owing to dynamical friction. Depending on their orbits and their masses, the substructures either merge, are disrupted or survive to the present day...
متن کاملExoplanet orbital eccentricities derived from LAMOST-Kepler analysis.
The nearly circular (mean eccentricity [Formula: see text]) and coplanar (mean mutual inclination [Formula: see text]) orbits of the solar system planets motivated Kant and Laplace to hypothesize that planets are formed in disks, which has developed into the widely accepted theory of planet formation. The first several hundred extrasolar planets (mostly Jovian) discovered using the radial veloc...
متن کاملOrbital motions as gradiometers for post-Newtonian tidal effects
*Correspondence: Lorenzo Iorio, Ministero dell’Istruzione, dell’Università e della Ricerca, Istruzione, Viale Unità di Italia 68, Bari 70125, Italy e-mail: [email protected] The direct long-term changes occurring in the orbital dynamics of a local gravitationally bound binary system S due to the post-Newtonian tidal acceleration caused by an external massive source are investigated. A cla...
متن کاملThe Orbital Eccentricities of Binary Millisecond Pulsars in Globular Clusters
Low-mass binary millisecond pulsars (LMBPs) are born with very small orbital eccentricities, typically of order e i 10 ?6 {10 ?3. In globular clusters, however, higher eccentricities e f e i can be induced by dynamical interactions with passing stars. Here we show that the cross section for this process is much larger than previously estimated. This is because, even for initially circular binar...
