A Robust Launching Mechanism for Freely-Floating Planets from Host Stars with Close-in Planets
Xiaochen Zheng, Zhuoya Cao, Shigeru Ida +2
Secular perturbations from binary stars and distant massive planets can drive cold planets onto nearly parabolic orbits with pericenter passages extremely close to their host stars…
Formation of Free-Floating Planets via Ejection: Population Synthesis with a Realistic IMF and Comparison to Microlensing Observations
Kangrou Guo, Shigeru Ida, Masahiro Ogihara
Microlensing observations suggest that the mass distribution of free-floating planets (FFPs) follows a declining power-law with increasing mass. The origin of such distribution is…
A Population Synthesis Study on the Formation of Cold Jupiters from Truncated Planetesimal Disks
Kangrou Guo, Masahiro Ogihara, Shigeru Ida +3
The occurrence rate of giant planets increases with orbital period and turns over at a location that roughly corresponds to the snow line of solar-type stars. Further, the density…
Forming planetary systems that contain only minor planets
Dimitri Veras, Shigeru Ida
Estimates of the frequency of planetary systems in the Milky Way are observationally limited by the low-mass planet regime. Nevertheless, substantial evidence for systems with unde…
Toward a Deterministic Model of Planetary Formation VII: Eccentricity Distribution of Gas Giants
S. Ida, D. N. C. Lin, M. Nagasawa
The ubiquity of planets and diversity of planetary systems reveal planet formation encompass many complex and competing processes. In this series of papers, we develop and upgrade…
A Population of Very-Hot Super-Earths in Multiple-Planet Systems Should be Uncovered by Kepler
Kevin C. Schlaufman, D. N. C. Lin, S. Ida
We simulate a Kepler-like observation of a theoretical exoplanet population and we show that the observed orbital period distribution of the Kepler giant planet candidates is best…
Toward a Deterministic Model of Planetary Formation VI: Dynamical Interaction and Coagulation of Multiple Rocky Embryos and Super-Earth Systems around Solar Type Stars
S. Ida, D. N. C. Lin
Radial velocity and transit surveys indicate that solar-type stars bear super-Earths, with mass and period up to ~ 20 M_E and a few months, are more common than those with Jupiter-…
