Quasi-Localization of Short-Wavelength Perturbations in Softened Laplace-Lagrange Chains
Konstantin Batygin, Eiichiro Kokubo
We examine the long-term evolution of localized eccentricity perturbations in a softened Laplace-Lagrange chain. The secular coupling between mass elements is long-ranged, suggesti…
Suppression of Resonant Overstability at Sharp Migration Gradients
Konstantin Batygin, Ian R. Brunton, Alessandro Morbidelli
Mean-motion resonances are expected to frequently arise at the inner edges of protoplanetary disks, where planet-disk interactions facilitate large-scale orbital convergence. Under…
Origins of Compact Mean-Motion Resonances: Evidence for Long-Range Migration and the Case of Kepler-36
Konstantin Batygin, Alessandro Morbidelli
The observed census of resonant extrasolar planets spans a tantalizing display of orbital architectures, ranging from familiar 2:1 and 3:2 mean-motion commensurabilities to nearly…
The Perturbation Theory Approach to Stability in the Scattered Disk
Matthew Belyakov, Konstantin Batygin
Scattered disk objects (SDOs) are distant minor bodies that orbit the sun on highly eccentric orbits, frequently with perhelia near Neptune's orbit. Gravitational perturbations due…
Measuring the degree of clustering and diffusion of trans-Neptunian objects
Gabriele Pichierri, Konstantin Batygin
The outer solar system is populated by a broad aggregate of minor bodies, which occupy orbits whose dynamical character ranges from long-term stable to rapidly diffusive. We invest…
Nutation-orbit resonances: The origin of the chaotic rotation of Hyperion and the barrel instability
Max Goldberg, Konstantin Batygin
While numerous planetary and asteroid satellites show evidence for non-trivial rotation states, none are as emblematic as Hyperion, which has long been held as the most striking ex…
