Theoretical Distributions of Short-Lived Radionuclides for Star Formation in Molecular Clouds
M. Fatuzzo, F. C. Adams
Short-lived radioactive nulcei (half-life Myr) influence the formation of stars and planetary systems by providing sources of heating and ionization. Whereas many pr…
On the Fate of Interstellar Objects Captured by our Solar System
Kevin J Napier, Fred C Adams, Konstantin Batygin
With the recent discoveries of interstellar objects `Oumuamua and Borisov traversing the solar system, understanding the dynamics of interstellar objects is more pressing than ever…
Testing Self-Organized Criticality Across the Main Sequence using Stellar Flares from TESS
Adina D. Feinstein, Darryl Z. Seligman, Maximilian N. Günther +1
Self-organized criticality describes a class of dynamical systems that maintain themselves in an attractor state with no intrinsic length or time scale. Fundamentally, this theoret…
Migrating Planets into Ultra-Short-Period Orbits during Episodic Accretion Events
Juliette Becker, Konstantin Batygin, Fred Adams
Ultra-short-period (USP) planets reside inside the expected truncation radius for typical T Tauri disks. As a result, their current orbital locations require an explanation beyond…
Radioactive Planet Formation
Fred C Adams
Young stellar objects are observed to have large X-ray fluxes and are thought to produce commensurate luminosities in energetic particles (cosmic rays). This particle radiation, in…
Investigating the Relative Gas and Small Dust Grain Surface Heights in Protoplanetary Disks
Evan A. Rich, Richard Teague, John D. Monnier +6
Dust evolution in protoplanetary disks from small dust grains to pebbles is key to the planet formation process. The gas in protoplanetary disks should influence the vertical distr…
