Hot Jupiters from Secular Planet--Planet Interactions
Smadar Naoz, Will M. Farr, Yoram Lithwick +2
About 25 per cent of `hot Jupiters' (extrasolar Jovian-mass planets with close-in orbits) are actually orbiting counter to the spin direction of the star. Perturbations from a dist…
The nonlinear evolution of baryonic overdensities in the early universe: Initial conditions of numerical simulations
Smadar Naoz, Naoki Yoshida, Rennan Barkana
We run very large cosmological N-body hydrodynamical simulations in order to study statistically the baryon fractions in early dark matter halos. We critically examine how differen…
Orbital properties of binary minor planets
Smadar Naoz, Hagai B. Perets, Darin Ragozzine
Many binary minor planets (BMPs; both binary asteroids and binary Trans-Neptunians objects; TNOs) are known to exist in the Solar system. The currently observed orbital and physica…
