Saturn Forms by Core Accretion in 3.4 Myr
Sarah E. Dodson-Robinson, Peter Bodenheimer, Gregory Laughlin +3
We present two new in situ core accretion simulations of Saturn with planet formation timescales of 3.37 Myr (model S0) and 3.48 Myr (model S1), consistent with observed protostell…
Constraining Orbital Parameters Through Planetary Transit Monitoring
Stephen R. Kane, Kaspar von Braun
The orbital parameters of extra-solar planets have a significant impact on the probability that the planet will transit the host star. This was recently demonstrated by the transit…
Inferring statistics of planet populations by means of automated microlensing searches
M. Dominik, U. G. Jorgensen, K. Horne +17
(abridged) The study of other worlds is key to understanding our own, and not only provides clues to the origin of our civilization, but also looks into its future. Rather than in…
Ice Lines, Planetesimal Composition and Solid Surface Density in the Solar Nebula
Sarah E. Dodson-Robinson, Karen Willacy, Peter Bodenheimer +2
To date, there is no core accretion simulation that can successfully account for the formation of Uranus or Neptune within the observed 2-3 Myr lifetimes of protoplanetary disks. S…
Stochastic `Beads on a String' in the Accretion Tail of Arp 285
B. J. Smith, C. Struck, M. Hancock +6
We present Spitzer infrared, GALEX UV, and SDSS and SARA optical images of the peculiar interacting galaxy pair Arp 285 (NGC 2856/4), and compare with a new numerical model of the…
SuperWASP-N Extra-solar Planet Candidates Between 18hr < RA < 21hr
R. A. Street, D. J. Christian, W. I. Clarkson +21
The SuperWASP-I instrument observed 6.7 million stars between 8-15 mag from La Palma during the 2004 May-September season. Our transit-hunting algorithm selected 11,626 objects fro…
