GW Ori: circumtriple rings and planets

Jeremy L. Smallwood, Rebecca Nealon, Cheng Chen +4

GW Ori is a hierarchical triple star system with a misaligned circumtriple protoplanetary disc. Recent ALMA observations have identified three dust rings with a prominent gap at $1…

The evolution of a circumplanetary disc with a dead zone

Cheng Chen, Chao-Chin Yang, Rebecca G. Martin +1

We investigate whether the regular Galilean satellites could have formed in the dead zone of a circumplanetary disc. A dead zone is a region of weak turbulence in which the magneto…

Polar planets around highly eccentric binaries are the most stable

Cheng Chen, Stephen H. Lubow, Rebecca G. Martin

We study the orbital stability of a non-zero mass, close-in circular orbit planet around an eccentric orbit binary for various initial values of the binary eccentricity, binary mas…

Formation of the polar debris disc around 99 Herculis

Jeremy L. Smallwood, Alessia Franchini, Cheng Chen +4

We investigate the formation mechanism for the observed nearly polar aligned (perpendicular to the binary orbital plane) debris ring around the eccentric orbit binary 99 Herculis.…

Asteroid belt survival through stellar evolution: dependence on the stellar mass

Rebecca G. Martin, Mario Livio, Jeremy L. Smallwood +1

Polluted white dwarfs are generally accreting terrestrial-like material that may originate from a debris belt like the asteroid belt in the solar system. The fraction of white dwar…

Orbital dynamics of circumbinary planets

Cheng Chen, Alessia Franchini, Stephen H. Lubow +1

We investigate the dynamics of a nonzero mass, circular orbit planet around an eccentric orbit binary for various values of the binary eccentricity, binary mass fraction, planet ma…
