Production of White Dwarf Debris Disks from Planetary Collisions and Poynting-Robertson Drag
Fred C. Adams, Konstantin Batygin
This paper explores the production of debris disks around white dwarfs, which are observed to experience frequent pollution events. In this scenario, planetary collisions occur jus…
Terminal instability of the Solar System triggered by stochastic solar mass loss
Konstantin Batygin, Jim Fuller, Fred C. Adams
From its birth, celestial mechanics has been deeply intertwined with the question of the Solar System's dynamical stability. For the inner planets, this question is now statistical…
Architectures of Planetary Systems III: Excitation of Eccentricities and Inclinations
Alex R. Howe, Juliette C. Becker, Fred C. Adams
The current census of planetary systems displays a wide range of architectures. Extending earlier work, this paper investigates the correlation between our classification framework…
Evaporation of Close-in Sub-Neptunes by Cooling White Dwarfs
Elena Gallo, Andrea Caldiroli, Riccardo Spinelli +5
Motivated by the recent surge in interest concerning white dwarf (WD) planets, this work presents the first numerical exploration of WD-driven atmospheric escape, whereby the high-…
The Resonance Hopping Effect in the Neptune-Planet Nine System
Tali Khain, Juliette Becker, Fred C. Adams
The observed physical clustering of the orbits of small bodies in the distant Kuiper Belt (TNOs) has recently prompted the prediction of an additional planet in the outer solar sys…
Discovery and Dynamical Analysis of an Extreme Trans-Neptunian Object with a High Orbital Inclination
J. C. Becker, T. Khain, S. J. Hamilton +62
We report the discovery and dynamical analysis of 2015 BP, an extreme Trans-Neptunian Object detected detected by the Dark Energy Survey at a heliocentric distance of 55 AU…
