Production of White Dwarf Debris Disks from Planetary Collisions and Poynting-Robertson Drag
Fred C. Adams, Konstantin Batygin
This paper explores the production of debris disks around white dwarfs, which are observed to experience frequent pollution events. In this scenario, planetary collisions occur jus…
Terminal instability of the Solar System triggered by stochastic solar mass loss
Konstantin Batygin, Jim Fuller, Fred C. Adams
From its birth, celestial mechanics has been deeply intertwined with the question of the Solar System's dynamical stability. For the inner planets, this question is now statistical…
An Upper Limit on Turbulent Viscosity in the Circumjovian Nebula
Konstantin Batygin, Fred C. Adams
Circumplanetary disks are open, dynamic systems sustained by a meridional circulation that draws gas and dust from the parent nebula along nearly polar streamlines, and ultimately…
Further constraints on Jupiter's primordial structure
Henrik Knierim, Konstantin Batygin, Ravit Helled +2
The primordial structure of Jupiter remains uncertain, yet it holds vital clues on the planet's formation and early evolution. Recent work used dynamical constraints from Jupiter's…
Determination of Jupiter's Primordial Physical State
Konstantin Batygin, Fred C. Adams
The formation and early evolution of Jupiter played a pivotal role in sculpting the large-scale architecture of the solar system, intertwining the narrative of Jovian early years w…
General Analytic Solutions for Circumplanetary Disks during the Late Stages of Giant Planet Formation
Fred C. Adams, Konstantin Batygin
Forming giant planets are accompanied by circumplanetary disks, as indicated by considerations of angular momentum conservation, observations of candidate protoplanets, and the sat…
Thermal Evolution and Mass Loss on Short-Period, Low-Mass Planets During FU Orionis Outbursts
Juliette Becker, Konstantin Batygin
Ultra-short-period (USP) planets represent a unique class of exoplanets characterized by their tight orbits and relatively low masses, with some also exhibiting unusually high iron…
Early Solar System Turbulence Constrained by High Oxidation States of the Oldest Non-Carbonaceous Planetesimals
Teng Ee Yap, Konstantin Batygin, François L. H. Tissot
Early Solar System (SS) planetesimals constitute the parent bodies of most meteorites investigated today. Nucleosynthetic isotope anomalies of bulk meteorites have revealed a dicho…
Dust-Gas Coupling in Turbulence- and MHD Wind-Driven Protoplanetary Disks: Implications for Rocky Planet Formation
Teng Ee Yap, Konstantin Batygin
The degree of coupling between dust particles and their surrounding gas in protoplanetary disks is quantified by the dimensionless Stokes number. The Stokes number (St) governs par…
