A Spectroscopically Unique Main Belt Asteroid: 10537 (1991 RY16)
Nicholas A. Moskovitz, Samuel Lawrence, Robert Jedicke +4
We present visible and near-infrared reflectance spectra and interpreted surface mineralogy for asteroid 10537 (1991 RY16). The spectrum of this object is without precedent amongst…
Habitability of Planets in Binaries
Nader Haghighipour
A survey of currently known extrasolar planets indicates that close to 20% of their hosting stars are members of binary systems. While the majority of these binaries are wide (i.e.…
Irregular Satellites of the Planets: Products of Capture in the Early Solar System
David Jewitt, Nader Haghighipour
All four giant planets in the Solar system possess irregular satellites, characterized by large, highly eccentric and/or inclined orbits that are distinct from the nearly circular,…
Habitable Planet Formation in Binary-Planetary Systems
Nader Haghighipour, Sean N. Raymond
Recent radial velocity observations have indicated that Jovian-type planets can exist in moderately close binary star systems. Numerical simulations of the dynamical stability of t…
Dynamical Evolution of Solids Subject to the Drag Force and the Self-Gravity of an Inhomogeneous and Marginally- Gravitationally Unstable Disk
Nader Haghighipour
The results of an extensive numerical study of the orbital dynamics of small bodies ranging from micron-sized dust grains to 1 km objects subject to gas drag and also the gravitati…
