Fogg, M. J. and Nelson, R. P., 2008 Terrestrial planet formation in low-eccentricity warm-Jupiter systems. - Detailed simulations show that the building blocks for terrestrial planets in the habitable zone are likely to survive the transit of inward-migrating hot Jupiters.
Heng, K., Menou, K. and Phillipps, P.J., 2010, Atmospheric circulation of tidally-locked exoplanets: a suite of benchmark tests for dynamical solvers. - Includes simulation results for temperature and wind on a hypothetical analogue of Earth with synchronous rotation.
Joshi, M. M., Haberle, R. M., and Reynolds, R. T., 1997 Simulations of the Atmospheres of Synchronously Rotating Terrestrial Planets Orbiting M Dwarfs: Conditions for Atmospheric Collapse and the Implications for Habitability. - Classic paper showing that an atmosphere of half a bar of CO2 on a tide-locked terrestrial planet orbiting an M dwarf would not freeze out. Since oxygen and nitrogen freeze less readily than CO2, and a denser atmosphere would transport heat to the dark side even better, a breatheable atmosphere would not freeze out either. Does not discuss whether the water would all freeze out on the dark side.
Merlis, T.M. and Schneider, T., 2010 Atmospheric dynamics of Earth-like tidally locked aquaplanets. - Temperature, wind, and rain on a tidally-locked planet covered by a shallow ocean (oceanic transport of heat is not modelled). Contrasts slow-rotating and fast-rotating extremes (24-hour year and 8760-hour year).
Miguel, Y., Guilera, O. M. and Brunini, A., 2011 The Diversity of Planetary Systems Architectures: Contrasting Theory with Observations. - What kinds of arrangement of different planets do we expect to see, and where do the habitable planets go?
Morbidelli, A., Lunine, J.I., O’Brien, D.P., Raymond, S.N. and Walsh, K. J., 2012 Building Terrestrial Planets. - Survey of the current position on accretion, late giant collisions, giant planet architecture, the Grand Tack scenario, and the origin of terrestrial water.
Pravec, P., Harris, A.W., and Michalowski, T., ?date?, Asteroid Rotations- Gives the distribution of rates of rotation for small and large asteroids, establishing a probable distribution of rates of rotation for bodies unaffected by tidal braking. This corrects the erroneous impression, obtained from considering moons, that small bodies rotate slower than large ones.
Raymond, S.N., Quinn, T., and Lunine, J.I., 2003 Making other earths: dynamical simulations of terrestrial planet formation and water delivery. - Simulations of the accretion of planetary embryos with their compositions initially depending on condensation temperature at their distance from the star show that after gravitational perturbation of their orbits the water can end up anywhere.
Showman, A.P, Cho, J. Y.-K., Menou, K., 2009, Atmospheric Circulation of Exoplanets. - Formidable equations, interesting diagrams of simulation results. Very illuminating on the topic of the climate of slowly-rotating worlds.
Tarter, J. et al., 2007 A Reappraisal of the Habitability of Planets Around M Dwarf Stars. - Report of conference on the suitability of M dwarf stars as the primaries of habitable planets.
