Dynamical Evolution of the Earth-Moon Progenitors - Whence Theia?
Billy Quarles, Jack J. Lissauer
We present integrations of a model Solar System with five terrestrial planets (beginning ~30-50 Myr after the formation of primitive Solar System bodies) in order to determine the…
Advances in exoplanet science from Kepler
Jack J. Lissauer, Rebekah I. Dawson, Scott Tremaine
Numerous telescopes and techniques have been used to find and study extrasolar planets, but none has been more successful than NASA's Kepler Space Telescope. Kepler has discovered…
Accretion and Evolution of ~2.5 Earth-mass Planets with Voluminous H/He Envelopes
Peter Bodenheimer, Jack J. Lissauer
Formation of planets in the Neptune size range with low-mass, but voluminous, H_2/He gaseous envelopes is modeled by detailed numerical simulations according to the core-nucleated…
Growth of Jupiter: Enhancement of Core Accretion by a Voluminous Low-Mass Envelope
Gennaro D'Angelo, Stuart J. Weidenschilling, Jack J. Lissauer +1
We present calculations of the early stages of the formation of Jupiter via core nucleated accretion and gas capture. The core begins as a seed body of about 350 kilometers in radi…
An Earth-sized Planet in the Habitable Zone of a Cool Star
Elisa V. Quintana, Thomas Barclay, Sean N. Raymond +20
The quest for Earth-like planets represents a major focus of current exoplanet research. While planets that are Earth-sized and smaller have been detected, these planets reside in…
The Effect of Planets Beyond the Ice Line on the Accretion of Volatiles by Habitable-Zone Rocky Planets
Elisa V. Quintana, Jack J. Lissauer
Models of planet formation have shown that giant planets have a large impact on the number, masses and orbits of terrestrial planets that form. In addition, they play an important…
