Can photo-evaporation trigger planetesimal formation?

Henry B. Throop, John Bally

We propose that UV radiation can stimulate the formation of planetesimals in externally-illuminated protoplanetary disks. We present a numerical model of disk evolution including v…

Phase light curves for extrasolar Jupiters and Saturns

Ulyana A. Dyudina, Penny D. Sackett, Daniel D. R. Bayliss +4

We predict how a remote observer would see the brightness variations of giant planets similar to Jupiter and Saturn as they orbit their central stars. We model the geometry of Jupi…

First observation of Jupiter by XMM-Newton

G. Branduardi-Raymont, R. F. Elsner, G. R. Gladstone +4

We present the first X-ray observation of Jupiter by XMM-Newton. Images taken with the EPIC cameras show prominent emission, essentially all confined to the 0.2-2.0 keV band, from…

Chaos and the Effects of Planetary Migration on the Orbit of S/2000 S5 Kiviuq

V. Carruba, D. Nesvorny', J. A. Burns +2

Among the many new irregular satellites that have been discovered in the last five years, at least six are in the so-called Kozai resonance. Due to solar perturbations, the argumen…

Regarding the Accretion of 2003 VB12 (Sedna) and Like Bodies in Distant Heliocentric Orbits

S. A. Stern

Recently, Brown et al. (2004) reported the exciting discovery of an ~800 km radius object, (90377) Sedna, on a distant, eccentric orbit centered at ~490 AU from the Sun. Here we un…

Scenarios for the Origin of the Orbits of the Trans-Neptunian Objects 2000 CR105 and 2003 VB12

A. Morbidelli, H. Levison

Explaining the origin of the orbit of 2000 CR105 (a ~ 230AU, q ~ 45AU) is a major test for our understanding of the primordial evolution of the outer Solar System. Gladman et al. (…
