On the Survivability and Metamorphism of Tidally Disrupted Giant Planets: the Role of Dense Cores
Shang-Fei Liu, James Guillochon, Douglas N. C. Lin +1
A large population of planetary candidates in short-period orbits have been found through transit searches. Radial velocity surveys have also revealed several Jupiter-mass planets…
Galacto-forensic of LMC's orbital history as a probe for the dark matter potential in the outskirt of the Galaxy
Xiaojia Zhang, Douglas N. C. Lin, Andreas Burkert +1
The 3D observed velocities of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds(LMC and SMC) provide an opportunity to probe the Galactic potential in the outskirt of the Galactic halo. Based…
The role of theta Oph in the formation and evolution of the Pipe Nebula - is star formation ever isolated?
Matthias Gritschneder, Douglas N. C. Lin
We propose that the Pipe Nebula is an HII region shell swept up by the B2 IV beta Cephei star theta Ophiuchi. After reviewing the morphological evidence by recent observations, we…
Should I Stay or Should I Go: Stellar Wind Retention and Expulsion in Massive Star Clusters
J. P. Naiman, E. Ramirez-Ruiz, D. N. C. Lin
Mass and energy injection throughout the lifetime of a star cluster contributes to the gas reservoir available for subsequent episodes of star formation and the feedback energy bud…
Planetesimal Dynamics in Inclined Binary Systems: The Role of Gas-Disk Gravity
Gang Zhao, Ji-Wei Xie, Ji-Lin Zhou +1
We investigate the effects of gas-disk gravity on the planetesimal dynamics in inclined binary systems, where the circumprimary disk plane is tilted by a significant angle ()…
Interaction of Close-in Planets with the Magnetosphere of their Host Stars. II. Super-Earths as Unipolar Inductors and their Orbital Evolution
Randy O. Laine, Douglas N. C. Lin
Planets with several Earth masses and a few day orbital periods have been discovered through radial velocity and transit surveys. Regardless of their formation mechanism, a key evo…
