The Three Dimensional Flow Field Around Planets on Eccentric Orbits
Avery Bailey, Jim Stone, Jeffrey Fung
We investigate the properties of the hydrodynamic flow around eccentric protoplanets and compare them with the often assumed case of a circular orbit. To this end, we perform a set…

Understanding WASP-12b
Avery Bailey, Jeremy Goodman
The orbital period of the hot Jupiter WASP-12b is apparently changing. We study whether this reflects orbital decay due to tidal dissipation in the star, or apsidal precession of a…

Density profiles of ultracompact minihalos: Implications for constraining the primordial power spectrum
M. Sten Delos, Adrienne L. Erickcek, Avery P. Bailey +1
Enhanced density fluctuations on small scales would lead to the formation of numerous dark matter minihalos, so limits on the minihalo abundance can place upper bounds on the small…
