Accounting for Transit Timing Detectability: Biases in Planetary Radius and Orbital Period
Skylar D'Angiolillo, Daniel Fabrycky, Mariah G. MacDonald
Transit Timing Variations (TTVs) are deviations from the time an observer would expect to see an exoplanet transit its host star. In multi-planetary systems, significant TTVs may i…
Effects of Outer Giant Planets on In Situ Formation of Inner Super-Earths
Phoebe Sandhaus, Rebekah I. Dawson, Mariah G. MacDonald +2
Recent studies have found an observational correlation between the presence of outer giant planets and inner super-Earths, which implies that outer giants do not suppress the forma…
Effects of Pebble Accretion Isolation Mass on Observable Exoplanet Properties
Lucas Brefka, Rebekah I. Dawson, Mariah G. MacDonald +2
The Kepler Mission has discovered a plethora of planetary systems with super-Earth sized planets. These systems exhibit many properties, from widely-spaced planets with non-negligi…
Beyond Point Masses. III. Detecting Haumea's Nonspherical Gravitational Field
Benjamin C. N. Proudfoot, Darin A. Ragozzine, William Giforos +3
The dwarf planet Haumea is one of the most compelling transneptunian objects (TNOs) to study, hosting two small, dynamically interacting satellites, a family of nearby spectrally u…
exoMMR: a New Python Package to Confirm and Characterize Mean Motion Resonances
Mariah G. MacDonald, Michael S. Polania Vivas, Skylar D'Angiolillo +2
The study of orbital resonances allows for the constraint of planetary properties of compact systems. We can predict a system's resonances by observing the orbital periods of the p…
Confirming Resonance in Three Transiting Systems
Tyler Quinn, Mariah MacDonald
Although resonant planets have orbital periods near commensurability, resonance is also dictated by other factors, such as the planets' eccentricities and masses, and therefore mus…
