Rapid Formation of Icy Super-Earths and the Cores of Gas Giant Planets

Scott J. Kenyon, Benjamin C. Bromley

We describe a coagulation model that leads to the rapid formation of super-Earths and the cores of gas giant planets. Interaction of collision fragments with the gaseous disk is th…

Gas Phase diagnostics of Protoplanetary disk extension

B. Ercolano, J. J. Drake, C. J. Clarke

We investigate the potential of using ratios of fine structure and near-infrared forbidden line transitions of atomic carbon to diagnose protoplanetary disk extension. Using result…

Do the nearby BHB stars belong to the Thick Disk or the Halo?

T. D. Kinman, Heather L. Morrison, Warren R. Brown

We study the Milky Way region Z<3.0 kpc, where the thick disk and inner halo overlap, by using the kinematics of local blue horizontal branch (BHB) stars (within 1 kpc) and new sam…
