Origin of compact exoplanetary systems during disk infall

Raluca Rufu, Robin M. Canup

Exoplanetary systems that contain multiple planets on short-period orbits appear to be prevalent in the current observed exoplanetary population, yet the processes that give rise t…

Effect of Equation of State and Cutoff Density in Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Simulations of the Moon-Forming Giant Impact

Scott D. Hull, Miki Nakajima, Natsuki Hosono +2

The amount of vapor in the impact-generated protolunar disk carries implications for the dynamics, devolatilization, and moderately volatile element (MVE) isotope fractionation dur…

Orbits and Masses of the Small Satellites of Pluto

Simon B. Porter, Robin M. Canup

We present a new orbit and mass solution for the four small satellites of Pluto: Styx, Nix, Kerberos, and Hydra. We have reanalyzed all available observations of the Pluto system o…

Co-accretion + giant impact origin of the Uranus system: Tilting Impact

Raluca Rufu, Robin M. Canup

The origin of the Uranian satellite system remains uncertain. The four major satellites have nearly circular, co-planar orbits and the ratio of the satellite system and planetary m…

On the Origin of the Pluto System

Robin M. Canup, Kaitlin M. Kratter, Marc Neveu

The goal of this chapter is to review hypotheses for the origin of the Pluto system in light of observational constraints that have been considerably refined over the 85-year inter…

Origin of the Moon

Robin M. Canup, Kevin Righter, Nicolas Dauphas +8

The Earth-Moon system is unusual in several respects. The Moon is roughly 1/4 the radius of the Earth - a larger satellite-to-planet size ratio than all known satellites other than…
