Accretion of Uranus and Neptune: confronting different giant impact scenarios
Leandro Esteves, André Izidoro, Othon C. Winter
The origins of Uranus and Neptune are not fully understood. Their inclined rotation axes -- obliquities -- suggest that they experienced giant impacts during their formation histor…
Assessing the spin-orbit obliquity of low-mass planets in the breaking the chain formation model: A story of misalignment
Leandro Esteves, André Izidoro, Othon C. Winter +2
The spin-orbit obliquity of a planetary system constraints its formation history. A large obliquity may either indicate a primordial misalignment between the star and its gaseous d…
The "Breaking The Chains" migration model for super-Earths formation: the effect of collisional fragmentation
Leandro Esteves, André Izidoro, Bertram Bitsch +4
Planets between 1-4 Earth radii with orbital periods <100 days are strikingly common. The migration model proposes that super-Earths migrate inwards and pile up at the disk inner e…
The origins of nearly coplanar, non-resonant systems of close-in super-Earths
Leandro Esteves, André Izidoro, Sean N. Raymond +1
Some systems of close-in "super-Earths" contain five or more planets on non-resonant but compact and nearly coplanar orbits. The Kepler-11 system is an iconic representative of thi…
Migration-driven diversity of super-Earth compositions
Sean N. Raymond, Thibault Boulet, Andre Izidoro +2
A leading model for the origin of super-Earths proposes that planetary embryos migrate inward and pile up on close-in orbits. As large embryos are thought to preferentially form be…
The Spectral Energy Distributions of White Dwarfs in 47 Tucanae: The Distance to the Cluster
K. A. Woodley, R. Goldsbury, J. S. Kalirai +13
We present a new distance determination to the Galactic globular cluster 47 Tucanae by fitting the spectral energy distributions of its white dwarfs to pure hydrogen atmosphere whi…
