The dispersal of protoplanetary disks

R Alexander, I Pascucci, S Andrews, P Armitage… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2013 - arxiv.org
Protoplanetary disks are the sites of planet formation, and the evolution and eventual
dispersal of these disks strongly influences the formation of planetary systems. Disk …

Accretion, outflows, and winds of magnetized stars

MM Romanova, SP Owocki - Space Science Reviews, 2015 - Springer
Many types of stars have strong magnetic fields that can dynamically influence the flow of
circumstellar matter. In stars with accretion disks, the stellar magnetic field can truncate the …

Effects of M dwarf magnetic fields on potentially habitable planets

AA Vidotto, M Jardine, J Morin, JF Donati… - Astronomy & …, 2013 - aanda.org
We investigate the effect of the magnetic fields of M dwarf (dM) stars on potentially habitable
Earth-like planets. These fields can reduce the size of planetary magnetospheres to such an …

On the environment surrounding close-in exoplanets

AA Vidotto, R Fares, M Jardine… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2015 - academic.oup.com
Exoplanets in extremely close-in orbits are immersed in a local interplanetary medium (ie
the stellar wind) much denser than the local conditions encountered around the Solar …

Magnetic games between a planet and its host star: the key role of topology

A Strugarek, AS Brun, SP Matt… - The Astrophysical …, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
Magnetic interactions between a star and a close-in planet are postulated to be a source of
enhanced emissions and to play a role in the secular evolution of the orbital system. Close …

On the diversity of magnetic interactions in close-in star–planet systems

A Strugarek, AS Brun, SP Matt… - The Astrophysical …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
Magnetic interactions between close-in planets and their host star can play an important role
in the secular orbital evolution of the planets, as well as the rotational evolution of their host …

Hot Jupiters and the evolution of stellar angular momentum

AF Lanza - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2010 - aanda.org
Context. Giant planets orbiting main-sequence stars closer than 0.1 AU are called hot
Jupiters. They interact with their stars affecting their angular momentum. Aims. Recent …

Assessing magnetic torques and energy fluxes in close-in star–planet systems

A Strugarek - The Astrophysical Journal, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
Planets in close-in orbit interact with the magnetized wind of their hosting star. This magnetic
interaction was proposed to be a source for enhanced emissions in the chromosphere of the …

Simulations of winds of weak-lined T Tauri stars. II. The effects of a tilted magnetosphere and planetary interactions

AA Vidotto, M Opher, V Jatenco-Pereira… - The Astrophysical …, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
Based on our previous work, we investigate here the effects on the wind and
magnetospheric structures of weak-lined T Tauri stars due to a misalignment between the …

Eccentricity and inclination of massive planets inside low-density cavities: results of 3D simulations

MM Romanova, AV Koldoba… - Monthly Notices of …, 2024 - academic.oup.com
We study the evolution of eccentricity and inclination of massive planets in low-density
cavities of protoplanetary discs using three-dimensional (3D) simulations. When the planet's …
