Planet Hunters X. KIC 8462852 - Where's the Flux?
T. S. Boyajian, D. M. LaCourse, S. A. Rappaport +46
Over the duration of the Kepler mission, KIC8462852 was observed to undergo irregularly shaped, aperiodic dips in flux of up to \%. The dipping activity can last for betwe…
Tracing the Ingredients for a Habitable Earth from Interstellar Space through Planet Formation
Edwin A. Bergin, Geoffrey A. Blake, Fred Ciesla +2
We use the C/N ratio as a monitor of the delivery of key ingredients of life to nascent terrestrial worlds. Total elemental C and N contents, and their ratio, are examined for the…
The snow line in viscous disks around low-mass stars: implications for water delivery to terrestrial planets in the habitable zone
Gijs D. Mulders, Fred J. Ciesla, Michiel Min +1
The water ice or snow line is one of the key properties of protoplanetary disks that determines the water content of terrestrial planets in the habitable zone. Its location is dete…
Volatile Delivery to Planets from Water-rich Planetesimals around Low Mass Stars
Fred J. Ciesla, Gijs D. Mulders, Ilaria Pascucci +1
Most models of volatile delivery to accreting terrestrial planets assume that the carriers for water are similar in water content to the carbonaceous chondrites in our Solar System…
Sulfurization of Iron in the Dynamic Solar Nebula and Implications for Planetary Compositions
Fred J. Ciesla
One explanation for the enhanced ratio of volatiles to hydrogen in Jupiter's atmosphere compared to a a gas of solar composition is that the planet accreted volatile-bearing clathr…
