On the Exoplanet Yield of Gaia Astrometry
Caleb Lammers, Joshua N. Winn
We re-examine the expected yield of Gaia astrometric planet detections using updated models for giant-planet occurrence, the local stellar population, and Gaia's demonstrated astro…
Unexpected Near-Resonant and Metastable States of Young Multi-Planet Systems
Zhecheng Hu, Fei Dai, Wei Zhu +4
Recent observations suggest that the incidence of near-resonant planets declines as planetary systems age, making young planetary systems key signposts of early dynamical evolution…
The Gap-Giant Association: Are Planets Hiding in the Gaps?
Caleb Lammers, Joshua N. Winn
A handful of stars are known to host both an inner system of multiple transiting planets and an outer giant planet. These systems all feature a prominent gap between the orbits of…
Discovery and Dynamics of the Nontransiting Planet Kepler-139f
Caleb Lammers, Joshua N. Winn
Among the ways that an outer giant planet can alter the architecture of an inner planetary system is by tilting the orbits of the inner planets and reducing their mutual transit pr…
Accelerating Giant Impact Simulations with Machine Learning
Caleb Lammers, Miles Cranmer, Sam Hadden +3
Constraining planet formation models based on the observed exoplanet population requires generating large samples of synthetic planetary systems, which can be computationally prohi…
