Dynamical tides in exoplanetary systems containing hot Jupiters: Confronting theory and observations
(Oxford University PressMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2017-09-11)We study the effect of dynamical tides associated with the excitation of gravity waves in an interior radiative region of the central star on orbital evolution in observed systems containing hot Jupiters. We consider ...

On the formation of a quasi-stationary twisted disc after a tidal disruption event
(Oxford University PressMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2016-08-24)We investigate misaligned accretion discs formed after tidal disruption events that occur when a star encounters a supermassive black hole. We employ the linear theory of warped accretion discs to find the shape of a disc ...
