Eccentricities of Close Stellar Binaries
Yanqin Wu, Sam Hadden, Janosz Dewberry +2
Orbits of stellar binaries are in general eccentric. These eccentricities encode information about their early lives. Here, we use thousands of main-sequence binaries from the Gaia…
Shadows Wreak Havocs in Transition Disks
Yansong Qian, Yanqin Wu
We demonstrate that shadows cast on a proto-planetary disk can drive it eccentric. Stellar irradiation dominates heating across much of these disks, so an uneven illumination can h…
Argon in beta Pictoris -- entrapment and release of volatile in disks
Yanqin Wu, Kadin Worthen, Alexis Brandeker +1
Chemical compositions of planets reveal much about their formation environments. Such information is well sought-after in studies of Solar System bodies and extra-solar ones. Here,…
Repelling Planet pairs by Ping-pong Scattering
Yanqin Wu, Renu Malhotra, Yoram Lithwick
The Kepler mission reveals a peculiar trough-peak feature in the orbital spacing of close-in planets near mean-motion resonances: a deficit and an excess that are a couple percent…
