Formation of super-Earths in icy dead zones around low-mass stars

David Vallet, Anna C. Childs, Rebecca G. Martin +2

While giant planet occurrence rates increase with stellar mass, occurrence rates of close-in super-Earths decrease. This is in contradiction to the expectation that the total mass…

Life on Exoplanets In the Habitable Zone of M-Dwarfs?

Anna C. Childs, Rebecca G. Martin, Mario Livio

Exoplanets orbiting in the habitable zone around M-dwarf stars have been prime targets in the search for life due to the long lifetimes of the host star, the prominence of such sta…

A radial limit on polar circumbinary orbits from general relativity

Stephen Lepp, Rebecca G. Martin, Anna C. Childs

A particle orbiting a misaligned eccentric orbit binary undergoes nodal precession either around the binary angular momentum vector (a circulating orbit) or around a stationary inc…

Misalignment of terrestrial circumbinary planets as an indicator of their formation mechanism

Anna C. Childs, Rebecca G. Martin

Circumbinary gas disks are often observed to be misaligned to the binary orbit suggesting that planet formation may proceed in a misaligned disk. With N-body simulations we conside…

Collisional fragmentation and bulk composition tracking in REBOUND

Anna C. Childs, Jason H. Steffen

We present a fragmentation module and a composition tracking code for the -body code REBOUND. Our fragmentation code utilises previous semi-analytic models and follows an implem…

Formation of polar terrestrial circumbinary planets

Anna Childs, Rebecca Martin

All circumbinary planets currently detected are in orbits that are almost coplanar to the binary orbit. While misaligned circumbinary planets are more difficult to detect, observat…
