Evolution of the Obliquities of the Giant Planets in Encounters during Migration
Man Hoi Lee, S. J. Peale, Eric Pfahl +1
Tsiganis et al. (2005) have proposed that the current orbital architecture of the outer solar system could have been established if it was initially compact and Jupiter and Saturn…
On the Orbits and Masses of the Satellites of the Pluto-Charon System
Man Hoi Lee, S. J. Peale
(Abridged) The orbits of the recently discovered satellites of Pluto, S/2005 P2 and S/2005 P1, are significantly non-Keplerian, even if P2 and P1 have negligible masses, because th…
The proximity of Mercury's spin to Cassini state 1
S. J. Peale
In determining Mercury's core structure from its rotational properties, the value of the normalized moment of inertia, , from the location of Cassini 1 is crucial. If Mercu…
The free precession and libration of Mercury
S. J. Peale
An analysis based on the direct torque equations including tidal dissipation and a viscous core-mantle coupling is used to determine the damping time scales of O(10^5) years for fr…
The Microlensing Planet Finder: Completing the Census of Extrasolar Planets in the Milky Way
D. P. Bennett, I. Bond, E. Cheng +21
The Microlensing Planet Finder (MPF) is a proposed Discovery mission that will complete the first census of extrasolar planets with sensitivity to planets like those in our own sol…
Secular Evolution of Hierarchical Planetary Systems
Man Hoi Lee, S. J. Peale
(Abridged) We investigate the dynamical evolution of coplanar hierarchical two-planet systems where the ratio of the orbital semimajor axes alpha=a_1/a_2 is small. The orbital para…
