The eccentric Kozai-Lidov effect and its applications
S Naoz - Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2016 - annualreviews.org
The hierarchical triple-body approximation has useful applications to a variety of systems

Determining stellar macroturbulence using asteroseismic rotational velocities from Kepler
Abstract The Rossiter–McLaughlin effect observed for transiting exoplanets often requires
prior knowledge of the stellar projected equatorial rotational velocity (v sin i). This is usually …

The Rossiter-McLaughlin Effect in Exoplanet Research
AHMJ Triaud - arxiv preprint arxiv:1709.06376, 2017 - arxiv.org
The Rossiter-McLaughlin effect occurs during a planet's transit. It provides the main means
of measuring the sky-projected spin-orbit angle between a planet's orbital plane, and its host …

The scatter of the M dwarf mass–radius relationship
ABSTRACT M dwarfs are prime targets in the hunt for habitable worlds around other stars.
This is due to their abundance as well as their small radii and low masses and temperatures …

A definition for giant planets based on the mass–density relationship
AP Hatzes, H Rauer - The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
We present the mass–density relationship (log M− log ρ) for objects with masses ranging
from planets (M≈ 0.01 M Jup) to stars (M> 0.08 M⊙). This relationship shows three distinct …
