Models of Jupiter's Growth Incorporating Thermal and Hydrodynamic Constraints
Jack J. Lissauer, Olenka Hubickyj, Gennaro D'Angelo +1
[Abridged] We model the growth of Jupiter via core nucleated accretion, applying constraints from hydrodynamical processes that result from the disk-planet interaction. We compute…
Formation of Jupiter and Conditions for Accretion of the Galilean Satellites
Paul R. Estrada, Ignacio Mosqueira, Jack J. Lissauer +2
We present an overview of the formation of Jupiter and its associated circumplanetary disk. Jupiter forms via a combination of planetesimal accretion and gravitational accumulation…
First Results From The Taiwanese-American Occultation Survey (TAOS)
Z. -W. Zhang, F. B. Bianco, M. J. Lehner +22
Results from the first two years of data from the Taiwanese-American Occultation Survey (TAOS) are presented. Stars have been monitored photometrically at 4 Hz or 5 Hz to search fo…
Terrestrial Planet Formation in Binary Star Systems
Elisa V. Quintana, Jack J. Lissauer
A binary star system is the most common result of the star formation process, and binary companions can disrupt both the formation of terrestrial planets and their long term prospe…
Terrestrial and Habitable Planet Formation in Binary and Multi-star Systems
Nader Haghighipour, Steinn Sigurdsson, Jack Lissauer +1
One of the most surprising discoveries of extrasolar planets is the detection of planets in moderately close binary star systems. The Jovian-type planets in the two binaries of Gam…
Planets Formed in Habitable Zones of M Dwarf Stars Probably are Deficient in Volatiles
Jack J. Lissauer
Dynamical considerations, presented herein via analytic scalings and numerical experiments, imply that Earth-mass planets accreting in regions that become habitable zones of M dwar…
