Forming Gliese 876 Through Smooth Disk Migration
Adam M. Dempsey, Benjamin E. Nelson
We run a suite of dissipative N-body simulations to determine which regions of phase space for smooth disk migration are consistent with the GJ876 system, an M-dwarf hosting three…
Quantifying the Bayesian Evidence for a Planet in Radial Velocity Data
Benjamin E. Nelson, Eric B. Ford, Johannes Buchner +5
We present results from a data challenge posed to the radial velocity (RV) community: namely, to quantify the Bayesian "evidence" for n={0,1,2,3} planets in a set of synthetically…
Systematic mischaracterization of exoplanetary system dynamical histories from a model degeneracy near mean-motion resonance
John H. Boisvert, Benjamin E. Nelson, Jason H. Steffen
There is a degeneracy in the radial velocity exoplanet signal between a single planet on an eccentric orbit and a two-planet system with a period ratio of 2:1. This degeneracy coul…
The crucial role of ground-based, Doppler measurements for the future of exoplanet science
Jason H. Steffen, Peter Plavchan, Timothy Brown +8
We outline the important role that ground-based, Doppler monitoring of exoplanetary systems will play in advancing our theories of planet formation and dynamical evolution. A censu…
