Extreme orbital evolution from hierarchical secular coupling of two giant planets
Jean Teyssandier, Smadar Naoz, Ian M. Lizarraga +1
Observations of exoplanets over the last two decades have revealed a new class of Jupiter-size planets with orbital periods of a few days, the so-called "hot Jupiters". Recent meas…
Eccentricity growth and orbit flip in coplanar hierarchical three body systems
Gongjie Li, Smadar Naoz, Bence Kocsis +1
The dynamical evolution of a hierarchical three body system is well characterized by the eccentric Kozai-Lidov mechanism, where the inner orbit can undergo large eccentricity and i…
Energy Feedback from X-ray Binaries in the Early Universe
Tassos Fragos, Bret D. Lehmer, Smadar Naoz +2
X-ray photons, because of their long mean-free paths, can easily escape the galactic environments where they are produced, and interact at long distances with the inter-galactic me…
Generation of Primordial Magnetic Fields on Linear Over-density Scales
Smadar Naoz, Ramesh Narayan
Magnetic fields appear to be present in all galaxies and galaxy clusters. Recent measurements indicate that a weak magnetic field may be present even in the smooth low density inte…
