The Persistent Missing Mass Problem in Planet Formation
Eve J. Lee, William DeRocco, Sam Hadden +1
Recent ground-based microlensing surveys suggest that our Galaxy may abound with small free floating planets, potentially up to 21 such planets per star. We explore the impli…

Canceling Effects of Conjunctions Render Higher Order Mean Motion Resonances Weak
Elizabeth K Jones, Samuel Hadden, Supakrai Teekamongkol +1
Mean motion resonances (MMRs) are a key phenomenon in orbital dynamics. The traditional disturbing function expansion in celestial mechanics shows that, at low eccentricities, :…
