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…
