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…

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…

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…
