Origin Scenarios for the Kepler 36 Planetary System
Alice C. Quillen, Eva Bodman, Alexander Moore
We explore scenarios for the origin of two different density planets in the Kepler 36 system in adjacent orbits near the 7:6 mean motion resonance. We find that fine tuning is requ…
Effects of a planetesimal debris disk on stability scenarios for the extrasolar planetary system HR 8799
Alexander J. Moore, Alice C. Quillen
HR 8799 is a four planet system that also hosts a debris disk. By numerically integrating both planets and a planetesimal disk, we find interactions between an exterior planetesima…
Limits on orbit crossing planetesimals in the resonant multiple planet system, KOI-730
Alexander Moore, Imran Hasan, Alice Quillen
A fraction of multiple planet candidate systems discovered from transits by the Kepler mission contain pairs of planet candidates that are in orbital resonance or are spaced slight…
Capture of Irregular Satellites via Binary Planetesimal Exchange Reactions in Migrating Planetary Systems
Alice C. Quillen, Imran Hasan, Alexander Moore
By logging encounters between planetesimals and planets we compute the distribution of encounters in a numerically integrated two planet system that is migrating due to interaction…
QYMSYM: A GPU-Accelerated Hybrid Symplectic Integrator That Permits Close Encounters
Alexander Moore, Alice C. Quillen
We describe a parallel hybrid symplectic integrator for planetary system integration that runs on a graphics processing unit (GPU). The integrator identifies close approaches betwe…
Planet Migration through a Self-Gravitating Planetesimal Disk
Alexander J. Moore, Alice C. Quillen, Richard G. Edgar
We simulate planet migration caused by interactions between planets and a planetesimal disk. We use an N-body integrator optimized for near-Keplerian motion that runs in parallel o…
