Fragmentation of Kozai-Lidov Disks
Wen Fu, Stephen H. Lubow, Rebecca G. Martin
We analyze the gravitational instability (GI) of a locally isothermal inclined disk around one component of a binary system. Such a disk can undergo global Kozai-Lidov (KL) cycles…
Why are pulsar planets rare?
Rebecca G. Martin, Mario Livio, Divya Palaniswamy
Pulsar timing observations have revealed planets around only a few pulsars. We suggest that the rarity of these planets is due mainly to two effects. First, we show that the most l…
On the Formation of Super-Earths with Implications for the Solar System
Rebecca G. Martin, Mario Livio
We first consider how the level of turbulence in a protoplanetary disk affects the formation locations for the observed close-in super-Earths in exosolar systems. We find that a pr…
Planet-disc evolution and the formation of Kozai-Lidov planets
Rebecca G. Martin, Stephen H. Lubow, Chris Nixon +1
With hydrodynamical simulations we determine the conditions under which an initially coplanar planet-disc system that orbits a member of a misaligned binary star evolves to form a…
