Dispersed Matter Planet Project Discoveries of Ablating Planets Orbiting Nearby Bright Stars
Carole A. Haswell, Daniel Staab, John R. Barnes +6
Some highly irradiated close-in exoplanets orbit stars showing anomalously low stellar chromospheric emission. We attribute this to absorption by circumstellar gas replenished by m…
Hyper-bishops, Hyper-rooks, and Hyper-queens: Percentage of Safe Squares on Higher Dimensional Chess Boards
Caroline Cashman, Joseph Cooper, Raul Marquez +2
The queens problem considers the maximum number of safe squares on an chess board when placing queens; the answer is only known for small . Miller, Sheng an…
Congruence Classes of Simplex Structures in Finite Field Vector Spaces
Timothy Cheek, Joseph Cooper, Pico Gilman +6
We study a generalization of the ErdÅs-Falconer distance problem over finite fields. For a graph , two embeddings of a graph are congruent…
Variants of Conway Checkers and k-nacci Jumping
Glenn Bruda, Joseph Cooper, Kareem Jaber +2
Conway Checkers is a game played with a checker placed in each square of the lower half of an infinite checkerboard. Pieces move by jumping over an adjacent checker, removing the c…
An ablating super-Earth in an eccentric binary from the Dispersed Matter Planet Project
John R. Barnes, Carole A. Haswell, Daniel Staab +8
Earth mass exoplanets are difficult to detect. The Dispersed Matter Planet Project (DMPP) identifies stars which are likely to host the most detectable low mass exoplanets. The sta…
