Discovery of a low-mass companion inside the debris ring surrounding the F5V star HD206893
Julien Milli, Pascale Hibon, Valentin Christiaens +30
Uncovering the ingredients and the architecture of planetary systems is a very active field of research that has fuelled many new theories on giant planet formation, migration, com…
Stability of sulphur dimers S2 in cometary ices
O. Mousis, O. Ozgurel, J. I. Lunine +5
S2 has been observed for decades in comets, including comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Despite the fact that this molecule appears ubiquitous in these bodies, the nature of its sou…
Lidov-Kozai Mechanism in Hydrodynamical Disks: Linear Stability Analysis
J. J. Zanazzi, Dong Lai
Recent SPH simulations by Martin et al. (2014) suggest a circumstellar gaseous disk may exhibit coherent eccentricity-inclination oscillations due to the tidal forcing of an inclin…
Migration of Planets Into and Out of Mean Motion Resonances in Protoplanetary Disks: Analytical Theory of Second-Order Resonances
Wenrui Xu, Dong Lai
Recent observations of Kepler multi-planet systems have revealed a number of systems with planets very close to second-order mean motion resonances (MMRs, with period ratio ,…
Spectroscopic characterisation of microlensing events Towards a new interpretation of OGLE-2011-BLG-0417
A. Santerne, J. -P. Beaulieu, B. Rojas Ayala +14
The microlensing event OGLE-2011-BLG-0417 is an exceptionally bright lens binary that was predicted to present radial velocity variation at the level of several km/s. Pioneer radia…
On Correlated-noise Analyses Applied To Exoplanet Light Curves
Patricio Cubillos, Joseph Harrington, Thomas J. Loredo +3
Time-correlated noise is a significant source of uncertainty when modeling exoplanet light-curve data. A correct assessment of correlated noise is fundamental to determine the true…
Thermal Properties and an Improved Shape Model for Near-Earth Asteroid (162421) 2000 ET70
Sean E. Marshall, Ellen S. Howell, Christopher Magri +8
We present thermal properties and an improved shape model for potentially hazardous asteroid (162421) 2000 ET70. In addition to the radar data from 2000 ET70's apparition in 2012,…
Long-Lived Dust Asymmetries at Dead Zone Edges in Protoplanetary Disks
Ryan Miranda, Hui Li, Shengtai Li +1
A number of transition disks exhibit significant azimuthal asymmetries in thermal dust emission. One possible origin for these asymmetries is dust trapping in vortices formed at th…
Imaging an 80 AU Radius Dust Ring Around the F5V Star HD 157587
Maxwell A. Millar-Blanchaer, Jason Wang, Paul Kalas +55
We present -band near-infrared polarimetric imaging observations of the F5V star HD~157587 obtained with the Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) that reveal the debris disk as a bright r…
Derivation of Capture Probabilities for the Corotation Eccentric Mean Motion Resonances
Maryame El Moutamid, Bruno Sicardy, Stéfan Renner
We study in this paper the capture of a massless particle into an isolated, first order Corotation Eccentric Resonance (CER), in the framework of the Planar, Eccentric and Restrict…
A Catalog of Kepler Habitable Zone Exoplanet Candidates
Stephen R. Kane, Michelle L. Hill, James F. Kasting +11
The NASA Kepler mission has discovered thousands of new planetary candidates, many of which have been confirmed through follow-up observations. A primary goal of the mission is to…
Possible Internal Structures and Compositions of Proxima Centauri b
B. Brugger, O. Mousis, M. Deleuil +1
We explore the possible Proxima Centauri b's interiors assuming the planet belongs to the class of dense solid planets (rocky with possible addition of water) and derive the corres…
Discovery of a Substellar Companion to the Nearby Debris Disk Host HR 2562
Quinn M. Konopacky, Julien Rameau, Gaspard Duchene +54
We present the discovery of a brown dwarf companion to the debris disk host star HR 2562. This object, discovered with the Gemini Planet Imager (GPI), has a projected separation of…
The Orbit and Transit Prospects for Pictoris b constrained with One Milliarcsecond Astrometry
Jason J. Wang, James R. Graham, Laurent Pueyo +51
A principal scientific goal of the Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) is obtaining milliarcsecond astrometry to constrain exoplanet orbits. However, astrometry of directly imaged exoplanet…
Could Cirrus Clouds Have Warmed Early Mars?
Ramses M. Ramirez, James F. Kasting
The presence of the ancient valley networks on Mars indicates that the climate at 3.8 Ga was warm enough to allow substantial liquid water to flow on the martian surface for extend…
The Canada-France Ecliptic Plane Survey (CFEPS) - High Latitude Component
J-M. Petit, J. J. Kavelaars, B. J. Gladman +8
We report the orbital distribution of the Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) discovered during the High Ecliptic Latitude (HiLat) extension of the Canada-France Ecliptic Plane Survey (…
Solar Obliquity Induced by Planet Nine: Simple Calculation
Dong Lai
Bailey et al.~(2016) and Gomes et al.~(2016) recently suggested that the 6 degree misalignment between the Sun's rotational equator and the orbital plane of the major planets may b…
Geomorphologic Mapping of Titan's Polar Terrains: Constraining Surface Processes and Landscape Evolution
Samuel Birch, Alexander Hayes, William Dietrich +18
We present a geomorphologic map of Titan's polar terrains. The map was generated from a combination of Cassini Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Imaging Science Subsystem imaging…
Biofluorescent Worlds II. Biological fluorescence induced by stellar UV flares, a new temporal biosignature
Jack T. O'Malley-James, Lisa Kaltenegger
Our first targets in the search for signs of life are orbiting nearby M stars, such as the planets in the Proxima Centauri, Ross-128, LHS-1140, and TRAPPIST-1 systems. Future groun…
