Two Distinct Populations of Dark Comets Delineated by Orbits and Sizes
Darryl Z. Seligman, Davide Farnocchia, Marco Micheli +7
Small bodies are capable of delivering essential prerequisites for the development of life, such as volatiles and organics, to the terrestrial planets. For example, empirical evide…
Strong Nongravitational Accelerations and the Potential for Misidentification of Near-Earth Objects
Aster G. Taylor, Darryl Z. Seligman, Matthew J. Holman +5
Nongravitational accelerations in the absence of observed activity have recently been identified on NEOs, opening the question of the prevalence of anisotropic mass-loss in the nea…
Radiative Signatures of Circumplanetary Disks and Envelopes During the Late Stages of Giant Planet Formation
Aster G. Taylor, Fred C. Adams
During the late stages of giant planet formation, protoplanets are surrounded by a circumplanetary disk and an infalling envelope of gas and dust. For systems with sufficient cooli…
The Dynamical Origins of the Dark Comets and a Proposed Evolutionary Track
Aster G. Taylor, Jordan K. Steckloff, Darryl Z. Seligman +5
So-called 'dark comets' are small, morphologically inactive near-Earth objects (NEOs) that exhibit nongravitational accelerations inconsistent with radiative effects. These objects…
Formation and Structure of Circumplanetary Disks and Envelopes during the Late Stages of Giant Planet Formation
Aster G. Taylor, Fred C. Adams
Giant planets are expected to form within circumstellar disks, which shape their formation history and the local environment. Here, we consider the formation and structure of circu…
