Constraining the Occurrence of ZLK-Induced White Dwarf Pollution with Dissipative Precession
Isabella Trierweiler, Konstantin Gerbig, Malena Rice
Von Zeipel-Lidov-Kozai (ZLK) oscillations, induced by bound, perturbative companions to white dwarfs, have been suggested as a dynamical mechanism that may contribute to white dwar…
Dust Growth in ALMA Rings: II. Dusty Rossby Wave Instability
Can Cui, Konstantin Gerbig, Ya-Ping Li +5
Annular substructures serve as ideal venues for planetesimal formation. In this series, we investigate the linear stage of dust growth within rings. The first paper examines the gl…
The Case for Edge-On Binaries: An Avenue Toward Comparative Exoplanet Demographics
Joseph E. Hand, Malena Rice, Konstantin Gerbig
Most Sun-like and higher-mass stars reside in systems that include one or more gravitationally bound stellar companions. These systems offer an important probe of planet formation…
Aligning Planet-Hosting Binaries via Dissipative Precession in Circumstellar Disks
Konstantin Gerbig, Malena Rice, J. J. Zanazzi +2
Recent observations have demonstrated that some subset of even moderately wide-separation planet-hosting binaries are preferentially configured such that planetary and binary orbit…
Emerging Researchers in Exoplanetary Science (ERES): Lessons Learned in Conference Organization for Early-Career Researchers
W. Garrett Levine, Konstantin Gerbig, Emma M. Louden +5
Since 2015, the Emerging Researchers in Exoplanetary Science (ERES) conference has provided a venue for early-career researchers in exoplanetary astronomy, astrophysics, and planet…
The Orbital Geometries and Stellar Obliquities of Exoplanet-Hosting Multi-Star Systems
Malena Rice, Konstantin Gerbig, Andrew Vanderburg
The current orbital geometries of exoplanet systems offer a fossilized record of the systems' dynamical histories. A particularly rich set of dynamical mechanisms is available to e…
Filament formation due to diffusive instabilities in dusty protoplanetary disks
Konstantin Gerbig, Min-Kai Lin, Marius Lehmann
We report the finding of a new, local diffusion instability in a protoplanetary disk, which can operate in a dust fluid, subject to mass diffusion, shear viscosity, and dust-gas dr…
The Orbital Architecture of Qatar-6: A Fully Aligned 3-Body System?
Malena Rice, Songhu Wang, Konstantin Gerbig +5
The evolutionary history of an extrasolar system is, in part, fossilized through its planets' orbital orientations relative to the host star's spin axis. However, spin-orbit constr…
A Standardized Framework for Collecting Graduate Student Input in Faculty Searches
Yasmeen Asali, Konstantin Gerbig, Aritra Ghosh +3
We present a procedure designed to standardize input received during faculty searches with the goal of amplifying student voices. The framework was originally used to collect feedb…
The Prospects for Hurricane-like Vortices in Protoplanetary Disks
Konstantin Gerbig, Gregory Laughlin
When ice on the surface of dust grains in protoplanetary disk sublimates, it adds its latent heat of water sublimation to the surrounding flow. Drawing on the analogy provided by t…
Requirements for gravitational collapse in planetesimal formation --- the impact of scales set by Kelvin-Helmholtz and nonlinear streaming instability
Konstantin Gerbig, Ruth A. Murray-Clay, Hubert Klahr +1
The formation of planetesimals is an unsolved problem in planet formation theory. A prominent scenario for overcoming dust growth barriers in dead zones is the gravitational collap…
Linking planetesimal and dust content in protoplanetary disks via a local toy model
Konstantin Gerbig, Christian T. Lenz, Hubert Klahr
If planetesimal formation is an efficient process, as suggested by several models involving gravitational collapse of pebble clouds, then, before long, a significant part of the pr…
