Type II migration of planets on eccentric orbits
Althea V. Moorhead, Eric B. Ford
The observed extrasolar planets possess both large masses (with a median M sin i of 1.65 MJ) and a wide range in orbital eccentricity (0 < e < 0.94). As planets are thought to form…

Eccentricity evolution of giant planet orbits due to circumstellar disk torques
Althea V. Moorhead, Fred C. Adams
The extrasolar planets discovered to date possess unexpected orbital elements. Most orbit their host stars with larger eccentricities and smaller semi-major axes than similarly siz…

Giant Planet Migration through the Action of Disk Torques and Planet Scattering
Althea V. Moorhead, Fred C. Adams
This paper presents a parametric study of giant planet migration through the combined action of disk torques and planet-planet scattering. The torques exerted on planets during Typ…
