Correlations between compositions and orbits established by the giant impact era of planet formation
Rebekah I. Dawson, Eve J. Lee, Eugene Chiang
The giant impact phase of terrestrial planet formation establishes connections between super-Earths' orbital properties (semimajor axis spacings, eccentricities, mutual inclination…
Breeding Super-Earths and Birthing Super-Puffs in Transitional Disks
Eve J. Lee, Eugene Chiang
The riddle posed by super-Earths (1-4, 2-20) is that they are not Jupiters: their core masses are large enough to trigger runaway gas accretion, yet somehow sup…
Two Transiting Low Density Sub-Saturns from K2
Erik A. Petigura, Andrew W. Howard, Eric D. Lopez +11
We report the discovery and confirmation of two sub-Saturn planets orbiting a bright (V = 11.3), metal-rich ([Fe/H] = 0.42 0.04 dex) G3 dwarf in the K2 Campaign 2 field. The…
Resolved Millimeter-Wavelength Observations of Debris Disks around Solar-Type Stars
Amy Steele, A. Meredith Hughes, John Carpenter +4
The presence of debris disks around young main sequence stars hints at the existence and structure of planetary systems. Millimeter-wavelength observations probe large grains that…
Weak Turbulence in the HD 163296 Protoplanetary Disk Revealed by ALMA CO Observations
Kevin M. Flaherty, A. Meredith Hughes, Katherine A. Rosenfeld +5
Turbulence can transport angular momentum in protoplanetary disks and influence the growth and evolution of planets. With spatially and spectrally resolved molecular emission line…
To Cool is to Accrete: Analytic Scalings for Nebular Accretion of Planetary Atmospheres
Eve J. Lee, Eugene Chiang
Planets acquire atmospheres from their parent circumstellar disks. We derive a general analytic expression for how the atmospheric mass grows with time , as a function of the un…
