Formation of super-Earths around low-mass stars: evolution of an icy dead zone
Danilo A. Arturo Rodriguez, Rebecca G. Martin
Exoplanet observations show that close-in super-Earths are more common around M-dwarfs than around solar mass stars. Since the snow line in a protoplanetary disc plays a crucial ro…
Primordial planet spin driven by boundary layer effects in a decretion disc
Rebecca G. Martin, Stephen H. Lubow, David Vallet +4
Accretion of material from a protoplanetary disc on to a forming giant planet can spin the planet up to close to its breakup rate, , where $M_{…
Planet-disc interactions around eccentric binaries and misaligned ring formation
Rebecca G. Martin, Stephen H. Lubow
We explore the evolution of a giant planet that interacts with a circumbinary disc that orbits a misaligned binary by means of analytic models and hydrodynamical simulations. Plane…
The fraction of polar aligned circumbinary disks
Ted M. Johnson, Rebecca G. Martin, Stephen Lepp +1
Circumbinary gas disks that are misaligned to the binary orbital plane evolve toward either a coplanar or a polar-aligned configuration with respect to the binary host. The preferr…
Polar circumtriple planets and disks around misaligned hierarchical triple stars
Stephen Lepp, Rebecca G. Martin, Stephen H. Lubow
Observations of hierarchical triple star systems show that misalignments are common both between the angular momentum vector of the inner binary and the outer companion orbit, and…
Observational Signatures of a Previous Dynamical Instability in Multi-planet M-Dwarf Systems
Anna C. Childs, Alexa P. S. Hua, Rebecca G. Martin +2
We identify observational signatures suggesting a history of dynamical instability in 26 out of 34 M-dwarf multi-planet systems containing no large planets. These systems may have…
Shedding light on the origin of the broken misaligned circumtriple disk around GW Ori
Jeremy L. Smallwood, Stephen H. Lubow, Rebecca G. Martin +1
We revisit the origin of the observed misaligned rings in the circumtriple disk around GW Ori. Previous studies appeared to disagree on whether disk breaking is caused by the diffe…
Polar orbits around the newly formed Earth-Moon binary system
Stephen Lepp, Rebecca G. Martin, Stanley A. Baronett
We examine the dynamics and stability of circumbinary particles orbiting around the Earth-Moon binary system. The moon formed close to the Earth (semi-major axis $a_{EM}\approx 3\,…
On the origin of polar planets around single stars
Cheng Chen, Stanley A. Baronett, C. J. Nixon +1
The Rossiter-McLaughlin effect measures the misalignment between a planet's orbital plane and its host star's rotation plane. Around 10 of planets exhibit misalignments in the…
Inclination instability of circumbinary planets
Stephen H. Lubow, Anna C. Childs, Rebecca G. Martin
We analyze a tilt instability of the orbit of an outer planet in a two planet circumbinary system that we recently reported. The binary is on an eccentric orbit and the inner circu…
Warps and Breaks in Circumbinary Discs
Ian Rabago, Zhaohuan Zhu, Stephen Lubow +1
Disc warping, and possibly disc breaking, has been observed in protoplanetary discs around both single and multiple stars. Large warps can break the disc, producing multiple observ…
