Dynamical Instability of Multi-planet Systems and Free-floating Planets

Ruocheng Zhai, Man Hoi Lee, Tianjun Gan +1

The ejection of planets by the instability of planetary systems is a potential source of free-floating planets. We numerically simulate multi-planet systems to study the evolution…

Scattering of Giant Planets and Implications for the Origin of the Hierarchical and Eccentric Two-planet System GJ 1148

Longhui Yuan, Man Hoi Lee

The GJ 1148 system has two Saturn-mass planets orbiting around an M dwarf star on hierarchical and eccentric orbits, with orbital period ratio of 13 and eccentricities of both plan…

Giant planet formation in the solar system

Anuja Raorane, Ramon Brasser, Soko Matsumura +3

The formation history of Jupiter has been of interest due to its ability to shape the solar system's history. Yet little attention has been paid to the formation and growth of Satu…

Can the giant planets of the Solar System form via pebble accretion in a smooth protoplanetary disc?

Tommy Chi Ho Lau, Man Hoi Lee, Ramon Brasser +1

Prevailing -body planet formation models typically start with lunar-mass embryos and show a general trend of rapid migration of massive planetary cores to the inner Solar System…

Parallelization of the Symplectic Massive Body Algorithm (SyMBA) -body Code

Tommy Chi Ho Lau, Man Hoi Lee

Direct -body simulations of a large number of particles, especially in the study of planetesimal dynamics and planet formation, have been computationally challenging even with m…

Breakthrough revisited: investigating the requirements for growth of dust beyond the bouncing barrier

Richard A. Booth, Farzana Meru, Man Hoi Lee +1

For grain growth to proceed effectively and lead to planet formation a number of barriers to growth must be overcome. One such barrier, relevant for compact grains in the inner reg…

Tilting Saturn without tilting Jupiter: Constraints on giant planet migration

R. Brasser, Man Hoi Lee

The migration and encounter histories of the giant planets in our Solar System can be constrained by the obliquities of Jupiter and Saturn. We have performed secular simulations wi…

Magnetic Coupling in the Disks Around Young Gas Giant Planets

N. J. Turner, M. H. Lee, T. Sano

We examine the conditions under which the disks of gas and dust orbiting young gas giant planets are sufficiently conducting to experience turbulence driven by the magneto-rotation…
