Observational Tests of Planet Formation Models
A. Sozzetti, G. Torres, D. W. Latham +8
We summarize the results of two experiments to address important issues related to the correlation between planet frequencies and properties and the metallicity of the hosts. Our r…
An m sin i = 24 Earth Mass Planetary Companion To The Nearby M Dwarf GJ 176
Michael Endl, William D. Cochran, Robert A. Wittenmyer +1
We report the detection of a planetary companion with a minimum mass of m sin i = 0.0771 M_Jup = 24.5 M_Earth to the nearby (d = 9.4 pc) M2.5V star GJ 176. The star was observed as…
Testing Disk Instability Models for Giant Planet Formation
Alan P. Boss
Disk instability is an attractive yet controversial means for the rapid formation of giant planets in our solar system and elsewhere. Recent concerns regarding the first adiabatic…
Signatures of Planet Formation in Gravitationally Unstable Disks
Hannah Jang-Condell, Alan P. Boss
In this paper, we calculate simulated scattered light images of a circumstellar disk in which a planet is forming by gravitational instability. The simulated images bear no correla…
