New Formation Models for the Kepler-36 System
Peter Bodenheimer, David J. Stevenson, Jack J. Lissauer +1
Formation of the planets in the Kepler-36 system is modeled by detailed numerical simulations according to the core-nucleated accretion scenario. The standard model is updated to i…
Formation of Giant Planets
Gennaro D'Angelo, Jack J. Lissauer
Giant planets are tens to thousands of times as massive as the Earth, and many times as large. Most of their volumes are occupied by hydrogen and helium, the primary constituents o…
The crucial role of ground-based, Doppler measurements for the future of exoplanet science
Jason H. Steffen, Peter Plavchan, Timothy Brown +8
We outline the important role that ground-based, Doppler monitoring of exoplanetary systems will play in advancing our theories of planet formation and dynamical evolution. A censu…
Long-Term Stability of Tightly Packed Multi-Planet Systems in Prograde, Coplanar, Circumstellar Orbits within the Centauri AB System
Billy Quarles, Jack J. Lissauer
We perform long-term simulations, up to ten billion years, of closely-spaced configurations of 2 -- 6 planets, each as massive as the Earth, traveling on nested orbits about either…
Long-Term Stability of Planets in the Centauri System, II: Forced Eccentricities
Billy Quarles, Jack J. Lissauer, Nathan Kaib
We extend our study of the extent of the regions within the Centauri AB star system where small planets are able to orbit for billion-year timescales (Quarles & Lissauer 2016,…
