Collisional Fragmentation Support in TRACE
Tiger Lu, Haniyeh Tajer, David M. Hernandez +3
We present improved collision support for TRACE, a state-of-the-art hybrid integrator in REBOUND. TRACE now supports collisional fragmentation and can handle both removing and addi…
squishyplanet: Modeling Transits of Non-spherical Exoplanets in JAX
Ben Cassese, Justin Vega, Tiger Lu +3
While astronomers often assume that exoplanets are perfect spheres when analyzing observations, the subset of these distant worlds that are subject to strong tidal forces and/or ra…
TRACE: a code for Time-Reversible Astrophysical Close Encounters
Tiger Lu, David M. Hernandez, Hanno Rein
We present TRACE, an almost time-reversible hybrid integrator for the planetary N-body problem. Like hybrid symplectic integrators, TRACE can resolve close encounters between parti…
Emerging Researchers in Exoplanetary Science (ERES): Lessons Learned in Conference Organization for Early-Career Researchers
W. Garrett Levine, Konstantin Gerbig, Emma M. Louden +5
Since 2015, the Emerging Researchers in Exoplanetary Science (ERES) conference has provided a venue for early-career researchers in exoplanetary astronomy, astrophysics, and planet…
Tidal Response and Shape of Hot Jupiters
Sean M. Wahl, Daniel Thorngren, Tiger Lu +1
We study the response of hot Jupiters to a static tidal perturbation using the Concentric MacLaurin Spheroid (CMS) method. For strongly irradiated planets, we first performed radia…
Self-Consistent Spin, Tidal and Dynamical Equations of Motion in the REBOUNDx Framework
Tiger Lu, Hanno Rein, Daniel Tamayo +4
We have introduced self-consistent spin, tidal and dynamical equations of motion into REBOUNDx, a library of additional effects for the popular N-body integrator REBOUND. The equat…
Tilting Uranus via Secular Spin-Orbit Resonance with Planet 9
Tiger Lu, Gregory Laughlin
Uranus' startlingly large obliquity of 98 degrees has yet to admit a satisfactory explanation. The most widely accepted hypothesis involving a giant impactor that tipped Uranus ont…
