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…

Decretion disc size in Be/X-ray binaries depends upon the disc aspect ratio

Rebecca G. Martin, Stephen H. Lubow, Philip J. Armitage +1

With three-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations we show that the size of the decretion disc and the structure of the accretion flow onto the neutron star in a Be/X-ray binary str…

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…
