Dark Stars: the First Stars in the Universe may be powered by Dark Matter Heating
Katherine Freese, Peter Bodenheimer, Paolo Gondolo +1
A new line of research on Dark Stars is reviewed, which suggests that the first stars to exist in the universe were powered by dark matter heating rather than by fusion. Weakly Int…
Models of Jupiter's Growth Incorporating Thermal and Hydrodynamic Constraints
Jack J. Lissauer, Olenka Hubickyj, Gennaro D'Angelo +1
[Abridged] We model the growth of Jupiter via core nucleated accretion, applying constraints from hydrodynamical processes that result from the disk-planet interaction. We compute…
Saturn Forms by Core Accretion in 3.4 Myr
Sarah E. Dodson-Robinson, Peter Bodenheimer, Gregory Laughlin +3
We present two new in situ core accretion simulations of Saturn with planet formation timescales of 3.37 Myr (model S0) and 3.48 Myr (model S1), consistent with observed protostell…
Dark Stars: Dark Matter in the First Stars leads to a New Phase of Stellar Evolution
Katherine Freese, Douglas Spolyar, Anthony Aguirre +4
The first phase of stellar evolution in the history of the universe may be Dark Stars, powered by dark matter heating rather than by fusion. Weakly interacting massive particles, w…
Ice Lines, Planetesimal Composition and Solid Surface Density in the Solar Nebula
Sarah E. Dodson-Robinson, Karen Willacy, Peter Bodenheimer +2
To date, there is no core accretion simulation that can successfully account for the formation of Uranus or Neptune within the observed 2-3 Myr lifetimes of protoplanetary disks. S…
Stellar Structure of Dark Stars: a first phase of Stellar Evolution due to Dark Matter Annihilation
Katherine Freese, Peter Bodenheimer, Douglas Spolyar +1
Dark Stars are the very first phase of stellar evolution in the history of the universe: the first stars to form (typically at redshifts ) are powered by heating from…
