dc.description.abstractSolid exoplanets orbiting at very close distances away from their host star are astrophysical laboratories for unique and exotic processes that define everything from their orbit and shape to their atmospheres and interiors. We create models to examine the unique physical environments that these planets inhabit and explore the effects on planetary shape and on atmosphere and resurfacing processes. In particular we examine three related topics.
