An Investigation of the Loss of Planet-Forming Potential in Intermediate Sized Young Embedded Star Clusters
Lisa Holden, Edward Landis, Jeremy Spitzig +1
A large fraction of stars forming in our galaxy are born within clusters embedded in giant molecular clouds. In these environments, the background UV radiation fields impinging upo…
Effects of Turbulence, Eccentricity Damping, and Migration Rate on the Capture of Planets into Mean Motion Resonance
Jacob A. Ketchum, Fred C. Adams, Anthony M. Bloch
Pairs of migrating extrasolar planets often lock into mean motion resonance as they drift inward. This paper studies the convergent migration of giant planets (driven by a circumst…
High Energy Cosmic-ray Diffusion in Molecular Clouds: A Numerical Approach
Marco Fatuzzo, Fulvio Melia, Elizabeth Todd +1
The propagation of high-energy cosmic rays through giant molecular clouds constitutes a fundamental process in astronomy and astrophysics. The diffusion of cosmic-rays through thes…
Stability of Magnetized Disks and Implications for Planet Formation
Susana Lizano, Daniele Galli, Mike J. Cai +1
This paper considers gravitational perturbations in geometrically thin disks with rotation curves dominated by a central object, but with substantial contributions from magnetic pr…
Hill's Equation with Random Forcing Parameters: Determination of Growth Rates through Random Matrices
Fred C. Adams, Anthony M. Bloch
This paper derives expressions for the growth rates for the random 2 x 2 matrices that result from solutions to the random Hill's equation. The parameters that appear in Hill's equ…
The Birth Environment of the Solar System
Fred C. Adams
This paper reviews our current understanding of the possible birth environments of our Solar System. Since most stars form within groups and clusters, the question becomes one of d…
