Habitable Planet Formation in Extreme Planetary Systems: Systems with Multiple Stars and/or Multiple Planets
Nader Haghighipour
Understanding the formation and dynamical evolution of habitable planets in extrasolar planetary systems is a challenging task. In this respect, systems with multiple giant planets…
Extreme Habitability: Formation of Habitable Planets in Systems with Close-in Giant Planets and/or Stellar Companions
Nader Haghighipour
With more than 260 extrasolar planetary systems discovered to-date, the search for habitable planets has found new grounds. Unlike our solar system, the stars of many of these plan…
New Worlds on the Horizon: Earth-Sized Planets Close to Other Stars
Eric Gaidos, Nader Haghighipour, Eric Agol +3
The search for habitable planets like Earth around other stars fulfils an ancient imperative to understand our origins and place in the cosmos. The past decade has seen the discove…
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.…
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…
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…
