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…
