Orbital Stability of Closely-Spaced Four-planet Systems

Bennet Outland, Gretchen Noble, Andrew W. Smith +1

We investigate the orbital dynamics of four-planet systems consisting of Earth-mass planets on initially-circular, coplanar orbits around a star of one solar mass. In our simulatio…

Formation and Evolution Simulations of Saturn, Including Composition Gradients and Helium Immiscibility

Peter Bodenheimer, David J. Stevenson, Jack J. Lissauer +1

The formation of Saturn is modeled by detailed numerical simulations according to the core-nucleated accretion scenario. Previous models are enhanced to include the dissolution of…

Top-shaped Asteroids as Lens-shaped Bodies

Anthony R. Dobrovolskis, Jack J. Lissauer, Jose L. Alvarellos

Several asteroids are known to be shaped like toy tops. This paper models Top-Shaped Asteroids (TSAs) as Homogeneous Symmetric Lenses (HSLs), and derives their rotational, self-gra…

TOI-1136 is a Young, Coplanar, Aligned Planetary System in a Pristine Resonant Chain

Fei Dai, Kento Masuda, Corey Beard +60

Convergent disk migration has long been suspected to be responsible for forming planetary systems with a chain of mean-motion resonances (MMR). Dynamical evolution over time could…

Refining the Masses and Radii of the Star Kepler-33 and its Five Transiting Planets

James Sikora, Jason Rowe, Daniel Jontof-Hutter +1

Kepler-33 hosts five validated transiting planets ranging in period from 5 to 41 days. The planets are in nearly co-planar orbits and exhibit remarkably similar (appropriately scal…

TOI-3884 b: A rare 6-R planet that transits a low-mass star with a giant and likely polar spot

J. M. Almenara, X. Bonfils, T. Forveille +19

The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite mission identified a deep and asymmetric transit-like signal with a periodicity of 4.5 days orbiting the M4 dwarf star TOI-3884. The signa…
