Atmospheric Escape from Hot Jupiters

Ruth Murray-Clay, Eugene Chiang, Norman Murray

Photoionization heating from UV radiation incident on the atmospheres of hot Jupiters may drive planetary mass loss. We construct a model of escape that includes realistic heating…

The Origin of the Young Stars in the Nucleus of M31

P. Chang, R. Murray-Clay, E. Chiang +1

The triple nucleus of M31 consists of a population of old red stars in an eccentric disk (P1 and P2) and another population of younger A stars in a circular disk (P3) around M31's…

Brownian Motion in Planetary Migration

Ruth A. Murray-Clay, Eugene I. Chiang

A residual planetesimal disk of mass 10-100 Earth masses remained in the outer solar system following the birth of the giant planets, as implied by the existence of the Oort cloud,…

A Brief History of Trans-Neptunian Space

E. Chiang, Y. Lithwick, R. Murray-Clay +3

The Edgeworth-Kuiper belt encodes the dynamical history of the outer solar system. Kuiper belt objects (KBOs) bear witness to coagulation physics, the evolution of planetary orbits…

A Signature of Planetary Migration: The Origin of Asymmetric Capture in the 2:1 Resonance

Ruth A. Murray-Clay, Eugene I. Chiang

The spatial distribution of Kuiper belt objects (KBOs) in 2:1 exterior resonance with Neptune constrains that planet's migration history. Numerical simulations demonstrate that fas…

The Circumbinary Ring of KH 15D

Eugene I. Chiang, Ruth A. Murray-Clay

The light curves of the pre-main-sequence star KH 15D from the years 1913--2003 can be understood if the star is a member of an eccentric binary that is encircled by a vertically t…
