Rings Around Non-Spherical Worlds: Sub-mm Dust Retention Around Triaxial Small Bodies in the Solar System

Zs. Regaly, V. Frohlich, Cs. Kalup +1

We investigated the millennial-scale evolution of narrow innermost rings composed of pebble-sized to sub-millimeter particles around the four known ring-bearing small bodies Chiron…

Beyond solar metallicity: How enhanced solid content in disks re-shape low-mass planet torques

Zs. Regaly, A. Nemeth

The migration of low-mass planets is tightly controlled by the torques exerted by both gas and solids in their natal disks. While canonical models assume a solar solid-to-gas mass…

Limits of Standard Tidal Models at Quaoar: Matching Weywot's Orbit, Missing the Spin

Zsolt Regaly, Viktoria Frohlich, Csaba Kiss

Weywot, Quaoar's small satellite, follows a nearly circular orbit at a distance of 12.9 times Quaoar's diameter and coexists with a compact ring system. Nevertheless, Quaoar's flat…

Grand Theft Moons. Formation of habitable moons around giant planets

Zoltan Dencs, Vera Dobos, Zsolt Regaly

Of the few thousand discovered exoplanets, a significant number orbit in the habitable zone of their star. Many of them are gas giants lacking a rocky surface and solid water reser…

Celestial sunflowers -- Survival of rings around small planetary bodies under solar radiation pressure

Zs. Regaly, V. Frohlich, Cs. Kiss

Context: Rings around giant planets are a common feature of the solar system. Even though solar radiation pressure is known to destabilize rings by exciting the orbital eccentricit…
