On the equilibrium rotation of Earth-like extra-solar planets (2008)

Correia, Alexandre C. M., Levrard, Benjamin, Laskar, Jacques

The equilibrium rotation of tidally evolved "Earth-like" extra-solar planets is often assumed to be synchronous with their orbital mean motion. The same assumption persisted for Mercury and Venus...

Tidal dissipation within hot Jupiters: a new appraisal (2007)

Levrard, Benjamin, Correia, Alexandre Morgado, Chabrier, Gilles, Baraffe, Isabelle, Selsis, Franck, Laskar, Jacques

Eccentricity or obliquity tides have been proposed as the missing energy source that may explain the anomalously large radius of some transiting ``hot Jupiters''. To maintain a non-zero and large...

Recent formation and evolution of northern Martian polar layered deposits as inferred from a Global Climate Model (2007)

Levrard, Benjamin, Forget, Francois, Montmessin, Franck, Laskar, Jacques

We present a time-marching model which simulates the exchange of water ice between the Martian northern cap, the tropics and a high-latitude surface reservoir. Net annual exchange rates of water and...

A long term numerical solution for the insolation quantities of the Earth (2004)

Laskar, Jacques, Robutel, Philippe, Joutel, Frédéric, Gastineau, Mickael, Correia, Alexandre C.M., Levrard, Benjamin

We present here a new solution for the astronomical computation of the insolation quantities on Earth spanning from -250 Myr to 250 Myr. This solution has been improved with respect to La93 (Laskar...
