InSight Pressure Data Recalibration, and Its Application to the Study of Long-Term Pressure Changes on Mars

L. Lange, F. Forget, D. Banfield +9

Observations of the South Polar Residual Cap suggest a possible erosion of the cap, leading to an increase of the global mass of the atmosphere. We test this assumption by making t…

Eccentric debris belts reveal the dynamical history of the companion exoplanet

Laetitia Rodet, Dong Lai

In recent years, a number of eccentric debris belts have been observed in extrasolar systems. The most common explanation for their shape is the presence of a nearby eccentric plan…

Rogue planets and brown dwarfs: Predicting the populations of free-floating planetary mass objects observable with JWST

Aleks Scholz, Koraljka Muzic, Ray Jayawardhana +2

Free-floating (or rogue) planets are planets that are liberated (or ejected) from their host systems. Although simulations predict their existence in substantial numbers, direct ob…

Turbulence in particle laden midplane layers of planet forming disks

Debanjan Sengupta, Orkan M. Umurhan

We examine the settled particle layers of planet forming disks in which the streaming instability (SI) is thought to be either weak or inactive. A suite of low-to-moderate resoluti…
