Brief Follow-up on Recent Studies of Theia's Accretion
Nathan A. Kaib, Nicolas B. Cowan
Kaib & Cowan (2015) recently used terrestrial planet formation simulations to conclude that the moon-forming impactor (Theia) had only a ~5% or less chance of having the same oxyge…
Balancing the Energy Budget of Short-Period Giant Planets: Evidence for Reflective Clouds and Optical Absorbers
Joel C. Schwartz, Nicolas B. Cowan
We consider fifty transiting short-period giant planets for which eclipse depths have been measured at multiple infrared wavelengths. The aggregate dayside emission spectrum of the…
The Feeding Zones of Terrestrial Planets and Insights into Moon Formation
Nathan A. Kaib, Nicolas B. Cowan
[Abridged] We present an extensive suite of terrestrial planet formation simulations that allows quantitative analysis of the stochastic late stages of planet formation. We quantif…
Instrument for in-situ orientation of superconducting thin-film resonators used for electron-spin resonance experiments
Andrew Mowry, Yiming Chen, James Kubasek +1
When used in Electron-Spin Resonance (ESR) measurements, superconducting thin-film resonators must be precisely oriented relative to the external magnetic field in order to prevent…
