A proposal for community driven and decentralized astronomical databases and the Open Exoplanet Catalogue
Hanno Rein
I present a new kind of astronomical database based on small text files and a distributed version control system. This encourages the community to work collaboratively. It creates…
Large-scale N-body simulations of the viscous overstability in Saturn's rings
Hanno Rein, Henrik Latter
We present results from large-scale particle simulations of the viscous overstability in Saturn's rings. The overstability generates a variety of structure on scales covering a few…
Period ratios in multi-planetary systems discovered by Kepler are consistent with planet migration
Hanno Rein
The Kepler planet candidates are an interesting testbed for planet formation scenarios. We present results from N-body simulations of multi-planetary systems that resemble those ob…
Stochastic flights of propellers
Margaret Pan, Hanno Rein, Eugene Chiang +1
Kilometer-sized moonlets in Saturn's A ring create S-shaped wakes called "propellers" in surrounding material. The Cassini spacecraft has tracked the motions of propellers for seve…
Traditional formation scenarios fail to explain 4:3 mean motion resonances
Hanno Rein, Matthew J. Payne, Dimitri Veras +1
At least two multi-planetary systems in a 4:3 mean motion resonance have been found by radial velocity surveys. These planets are gas giants and the systems are only stable when pr…
The gravitational instability of a stream of co-orbital particles
Henrik N. Latter, Hanno Rein, Gordon I. Ogilvie
We describe the dynamics of a stream of equally spaced macroscopic particles in orbit around a central body (e.g. a planet or star). A co-orbital configuration of small bodies may…
