Hot Jupiter formation in dense clusters: secular chaos in multi-planetary systems
Yihan Wang, Rosalba Perna, Nathan W. C. Leigh +1
Exoplanetary observations reveal that the occurrence rate of hot Jupiters is correlated with star clustering. In star clusters, interactions between planetary systems and close fly…
Testing the Flux-based statistical prediction of the Three-Body Problem
Viraj Manwadkar, Barak Kol, Alessandro A. Trani +1
We present an extensive comparison between the statistical properties of non-hierarchical three-body systems and the corresponding three-body theoretical predictions. We perform an…
Hot Jupiter and ultra-cold Saturn formation in dense star clusters
Yi-Han Wang, Nathan W. C. Leigh, Rosalba Perna +1
The discovery of high incidence of hot Jupiters in dense clusters challenges the field-based hot Jupiter formation theory. In dense clusters, interactions between planetary systems…
Chaos and Lévy Flights in the Three-Body Problem
Viraj Manwadkar, Alessandro A. Trani, Nathan W. C. Leigh
We study chaos and Lévy flights in the general gravitational three-body problem. We introduce new metrics to characterize the time evolution and final lifetime distributions, namel…
Giant planet swaps during close stellar encounters
Yi-Han Wang, Rosalba Perna, Nathan W. C. Leigh
The discovery of planetary systems outside of the solar system has challenged some of the tenets of planetary formation. Among the difficult-to-explain observations, are systems wi…
Planetary Architectures in Interacting Stellar Environments
Yi-Han Wang, Rosalba Perna, Nathan W. C. Leigh
The discovery of Exoplanetary Systems has challenged some of the theories of planet formation, which assume unperturbed evolution of the host star and its planets. However, in star…
Planet formation: The case for large efforts on the computational side
Wladimir Lyra, Thomas Haworth, Bertram Bitsch +54
Modern astronomy has finally been able to observe protoplanetary disks in reasonable resolution and detail, unveiling the processes happening during planet formation. These observe…
Stability of exomoons around the Kepler transiting circumbinary planets
Adrian S. Hamers, Maxwell X. Cai, Javier Roa +1
The Kepler mission has detected a number of transiting circumbinary planets (CBPs). Although currently not detected, exomoons could be orbiting some of these CBPs, and they might b…
