Assembly of Protoplanetary Disks and Inclinations of Circumbinary Planets
Francois Foucart, Dong Lai
The Kepler satellite has discovered a number of transiting planets around close binary stars. These circumbinary systems have highly aligned planetary and binary orbits. In this pa…
Connections between Spectra and Structure in Saturn's Main Rings Based on Cassini VIMS Data
M. M. Hedman, P. D. Nicholson, J. N. Cuzzi +4
Saturn's main rings exhibit variations in both their opacity and spectral properties on a broad range of spatial scales, and the correlations between these parameters can provide i…
Building Terrestrial Planets
Alessandro Morbidelli, Jonathan I. Lunine, David P. O`brien +2
This paper reviews our current understanding of terrestrial planets formation. The focus is on computer simulations of the dynamical aspects of the accretion process. Throughout th…
Rossby Wave Instability in three dimensional discs
H. Meheut, C. Yu, D. Lai
The Rossby wave instability (RWI) is a promising mechanism for producing large-scale vortices in protoplanetary discs. The instability operates around a density bump in the disc, a…
