Transiting planets - lightcurve analysis for eccentric orbits
Transiting planet lightcurves have historically been used predominantly for measuring the depth and hence ratio of the planet-star radii, p. Equations have previously been presented by Seager & Mallén-Ornelas (2003) for the analysis of the total and trough transit lightcurve times to derive the ratio of semi-major axis to stellar radius, a/R∗, in the case of circular orbits. Here, a new analyti...
متن کاملHomogeneous studies of transiting extrasolar planets . I . Light curve analyses
I present an homogeneous analysis of the transit light curves of fourteen well-observed transiting extrasolar planets. The light curves are modelled using jktebop, random errors are measured using Monte Carlo simulations, and the effects of correlated noise are included using a residual-permutation algorithm. The importance of stellar limb darkening on the light curve solutions and parameter un...
متن کاملTwo New Candidate Planets in Eccentric Orbits
Doppler measurements of two G–type main–sequence stars, HD210277 and HD168443, reveal Keplerian variations that imply the presence of companions with masses (M sin i ) of 1.28 and 5.04 MJUP and orbital periods of 437 d and 58 d, respectively. The orbits have large eccentricities of e=0.45 and e=0.54, respectively. All 9 known extrasolar planet candidates with a=0.2–2.5 AU have orbital eccentric...
متن کاملType Ii Migration of Planets on Eccentric Orbits
The observed extrasolar planets possess both large masses (with a median M sin i of 1.65 MJ) and a wide range in orbital eccentricity (0 < e < 0.94). As planets are thought to form in circumstellar disks, one important question in planet formation is determining whether, and to what degree, a gaseous disk affects an eccentric planet’s orbit. Recent studies have probed the interaction between a ...
متن کاملFuzzy Sliding Mode for Spacecraft Formation Control in Eccentric Orbits
The problem of relative motion control for spacecraft formation flying in eccentric orbits is considered in this paper. Due to the presence of nonlinear dynamics and external disturbances, a robust fuzzy sliding mode controller is developed. The slopes of sliding surfaces of the conventional sliding mode controller are tuned according to error states using a fuzzy logic and reach the pre-define...
