The OATMEAL Survey. I. Low Stellar Obliquity in the Transiting Brown Dwarf System GPX-1

S Giacalone, F Dai, JJ Zanazzi… - The Astronomical …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
We introduce the OATMEAL survey, an effort to measure the obliquities of stars with
transiting brown dwarf companions. We observed a transit of the close-in (P orb= 1.74 days) …

[BOOK][B] Dynamics of Planets, Stars, and Black Ole Binaries: Tides, Spin Resonances, and Gravitational Waves

Y Su - 2022 - search.proquest.com
Simply by nature of their scale and complexity, astrophysical systems are almost always
studied by simplifications and effective, parameterized models. Yet even after this …
