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…
