An Inclined, Eccentric Planet and an Inner Debris Disk Could Reproduce AU Mic Structure
Arcelia Hermosillo Ruiz, Ruth Murray-Clay, Meredith A. MacGregor +1
The debris disk orbiting the M star AU Microscopii has a series of large-scale clumps that move away from the star at high velocities above the mid-plane on the southeast side. Two…
Atmospheric Escape Rates from Mars - If it Orbited an Old M-Dwarf Star
David A. Brain, Ofer Cohen, Thomas E. Cravens +35
Atmospheric escape is an important process that influences the evolution of planetary atmospheres. A variety of physical mechanisms can contribute to escape from an atmosphere, inc…
Efficiency of Hydrodynamic Atmospheric Escape in Hot Jupiters and Super Earths
Renata Frelikh, Ruth A. Murray-Clay
We develop a flexible one-dimensional code to model the escape of hydrogen and helium from a hot Jupiter as a result of photoionization from extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) radiation. We…
Signatures of a planet-planet impacts phase in exoplanetary systems hosting giant planets
Renata Frelikh, Hyerin Jang, Ruth A. Murray-Clay +1
Exoplanetary systems host giant planets on substantially non-circular, close-in orbits. We propose that these eccentricities arise in a phase of giant impacts, analogous to the fin…
The Formation of Uranus and Neptune: Fine Tuning in Core Accretion
Renata Frelikh, Ruth A. Murray-Clay
Uranus and Neptune are ice giants with 15% atmospheres by mass, placing them in an intermediate category between rocky planets and gas giants. These atmospheres are too mass…
