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…
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…
A Metallicity Recipe for Rocky Planets
Rebekah I. Dawson, Eugene Chiang, Eve J. Lee
Planets with sizes between those of Earth and Neptune divide into two populations: purely rocky bodies whose atmospheres contribute negligibly to their sizes, and larger gas-envelo…
