On the formation of retrograde S-type planets in binaries with a polar circumbinary disk

Cheng Chen, Philip J. Armitage, C. J. Nixon +2

Retrograde S-type planets have been observed in several binary systems, yet their formation pathway remains poorly understood. With high-resolution hydrodynamic simulations, we dem…

Positive superhumps in high mass ratio cataclysmic variables driven by apsidal disk precession

Rebecca G. Martin, Stephen H. Lubow, David Vallet +1

Previously it has been assumed that a cataclysmic variable (CV) disk can only become eccentric and display superhumps if the 3:1 resonance is located within the disk. This requires…

The Eccentric Disk Model for Superhumps

Stephen H. Lubow

An important goal of the disk instability model is to explain the superhump phenomenon. Superhumps are features found in the light curves of binary systems, characterized by a peri…

Negative superhumps in cataclysmic variables driven by retrograde apsidal disk precession

David Vallet, Rebecca G. Martin, Stephen H. Lubow +1

Negative superhumps are photometric modulations in cataclysmic variables with periods slightly shorter than the orbital period. They are usually attributed to retrograde nodal prec…

The Impact of the MAST Data Archive

Richard A. Shaw, Jenny L. Novacescu, Sarah Weissman +31

The Barbara A. Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes (MAST) hosts science-ready data products from over twenty NASA missions, plus community-contributed data collections, and other…

Primordial planet spin driven by boundary layer effects in a decretion disc

Rebecca G. Martin, Stephen H. Lubow, David Vallet +4

Accretion of material from a protoplanetary disc on to a forming giant planet can spin the planet up to close to its breakup rate, , where $M_{…
