Evolution of the Obliquities of the Giant Planets in Encounters during Migration
Man Hoi Lee, S. J. Peale, Eric Pfahl +1
Tsiganis et al. (2005) have proposed that the current orbital architecture of the outer solar system could have been established if it was initially compact and Jupiter and Saturn…
On the Orbits and Masses of the Satellites of the Pluto-Charon System
Man Hoi Lee, S. J. Peale
(Abridged) The orbits of the recently discovered satellites of Pluto, S/2005 P2 and S/2005 P1, are significantly non-Keplerian, even if P2 and P1 have negligible masses, because th…
On the 2:1 Orbital Resonance in the HD 82943 Planetary System
Man Hoi Lee, R. Paul Butler, Debra A. Fischer +2
We present an analysis of the HD 82943 planetary system based on a radial velocity data set that combines new measurements obtained with the Keck telescope and the CORALIE measurem…
Modeling the resonant planetary system GJ876
Willy Kley, Man-Hoi Lee, Norman Murray +1
The two planets about the star GJ 876 appear to have undergone extensive migration from their point of origin in the protoplanetary disk -- both because of their close proximity to…
Diversity and Origin of 2:1 Orbital Resonances in Extrasolar Planetary Systems
Man Hoi Lee
(Abridged) A diversity of 2:1 resonance configurations can be expected in extrasolar planetary systems, and their geometry can provide information about the origin of the resonance…
Secular Evolution of Hierarchical Planetary Systems
Man Hoi Lee, S. J. Peale
(Abridged) We investigate the dynamical evolution of coplanar hierarchical two-planet systems where the ratio of the orbital semimajor axes alpha=a_1/a_2 is small. The orbital para…
A Primordial Origin of the Laplace Relation Among the Galilean Satellites
S. J. Peale, Man Hoi Lee
Understanding the origin of the orbital resonances of the Galilean satellites of Jupiter will constrain the longevity of the extensive volcanism on Io, may explain a liquid ocean o…
The Kozai Mechanism and the Evolution of Binary Supermassive Black Holes
Omer Blaes, Man Hoi Lee, Aristotle Socrates
We consider the dynamical evolution of bound, hierarchical triples of supermassive black holes that might be formed in the nuclei of galaxies undergoing sequential mergers. The tid…
Dynamics and Origin of the 2:1 Orbital Resonances of the GJ 876 Planets
Man Hoi Lee, S. J. Peale
(Abridged) A dynamical fit has placed the two planets about the star GJ 876 in coplanar orbits deep in 3 resonances at the 2:1 mean-motion commensurability with small libration amp…
Variable Timestep Integrators for Long-Term Orbital Integrations
Man Hoi Lee, Martin J. Duncan, Harold F. Levison
Symplectic integration algorithms have become popular in recent years in long-term orbital integrations because these algorithms enforce certain conservation laws that are intrinsi…
Statistics of Gravitational Microlensing Magnification. II. Three-Dimensional Lens Distribution
Man Hoi Lee, Arif Babul, Lev Kofman +1
In Paper I we studied the theory of gravitational microlensing for a planar distribution of point masses. In this second paper, we extend the analysis to a three-dimensional lens d…
Statistics of Gravitational Microlensing Magnification. I. Two-Dimensional Lens Distribution
Lev Kofman, Nick Kaiser, Man Hoi Lee +1
(Abridged) In this paper we refine the theory of microlensing for a planar distribution of point masses. We derive the macroimage magnification distribution P(A) at high magnificat…
