Formation of asteroid pairs by rotational fission
P. Pravec, D. Vokrouhlicky, D. Polishook +23
Asteroid pairs sharing similar heliocentric orbits were found recently. Backward integrations of their orbits indicated that they separated gently with low relative velocities, but…
A Dynamical Solution of the Triple Asteroid System (45) Eugenia
F. Marchis, V. Lainey, P. Descamps +9
We present the first dynamical solution of the triple asteroid system (45) Eugenia and its two moons Petit-Prince (Diameter~7 km) and S/2004 (45) 1 (Diameter~5 km). The two moons o…
Modeling Kepler transit light curves as false positives: Rejection of blend scenarios for Kepler-9, and validation of Kepler-9d, a super-Earth-size planet in a multiple system
Guillermo Torres, François Fressin, Natalie M. Batalha +26
Light curves from the Kepler Mission contain valuable information on the nature of the phenomena producing the transit-like signals. To assist in exploring the possibility that the…
Atmospheric Circulation of Eccentric Hot Neptune GJ436b
Nikole K. Lewis, Adam P. Showman, Jonathan J. Fortney +3
GJ436b is a unique member of the transiting extrasolar planet population being one of the smallest and least irradiated and possessing an eccentric orbit. Because of its size, mass…
Five Kepler target stars that show multiple transiting exoplanet candidates
Jason H. Steffen, Natalie M. Batalha, William J. Borucki +27
We present and discuss five candidate exoplanetary systems identified with the Kepler spacecraft. These five systems show transits from multiple exoplanet candidates. Should these…
