The Criterion for Chaos in Three-Planet Systems

Jeremy Rath, Sam Hadden, Yoram Lithwick

We establish the criterion for chaos in three-planet systems, for systems similar to those discovered by the Kepler spacecraft. Our main results are as follows: (i) The simplest cr…

Rare Event Sampling Improves Mercury Instability Statistics

Dorian S. Abbot, Robert J. Webber, Sam Hadden +2

Due to the chaotic nature of planetary dynamics, there is a non-zero probability that Mercury's orbit will become unstable in the future. Previous efforts have estimated the probab…

How Close are Compact Multi-Planet Systems to the Stability Limit?

Samuel W. Yee, Daniel Tamayo, Samuel Hadden +1

Transit surveys have revealed a significant population of compact multi-planet systems, containing several sub-Neptune-mass planets on close-in, tightly-packed orbits. These system…

Significant improvement in planetary system simulations from statistical averaging

David M. Hernandez, Eric Agol, Matthew J. Holman +1

Symplectic integrators are widely used for the study of planetary dynamics and other -body problems. In a study of the outer Solar system, we demonstrate that individual symplec…

A Bayesian neural network predicts the dissolution of compact planetary systems

Miles Cranmer, Daniel Tamayo, Hanno Rein +5

Despite over three hundred years of effort, no solutions exist for predicting when a general planetary configuration will become unstable. We introduce a deep learning architecture…
