Medium-separation binaries do not affect the first steps of planet formation

I. Pascucci, D. Apai, E. E. Hardegree-Ullman +3

The first steps of planet formation are marked by the growth and crystallization of sub-micrometer-sized dust grains accompanied by dust settling toward the disk midplane. In this…

A Survey for Massive Giant Planets in Debris Disks with Evacuated Inner Cavities

D. Apai, M. Janson, A. Moro-Martin +9

The commonality of collisionally replenished debris around main sequence stars suggests that minor bodies are frequent around Sun-like stars. Whether or not debris disks in general…
