Origin and Dynamical Evolution of Neptune Trojans - II: Long Term Evolution

Patryk Sofia Lykawka, Jonathan Horner, Barrie W. Jones +1

We present results examining the fate of the Trojan clouds produced in our previous work. We find that the stability of Neptunian Trojans seems to be strongly correlated to their i…

The evolution of habitable zones during stellar lifetimes and its implications on the search for extraterrestrial life

David R. Underwood, Barrie W. Jones, P. Nick Sleep

A stellar evolution computer model has been used to determine changes in the luminosity L and effective temperature T(e) of single stars during their time on the main sequence. The…
