The hot Jupiter period-mass distribution as a signature of in situ formation
Elizabeth Bailey, Konstantin Batygin
More than two decades after the widespread detection of Jovian-class planets on short-period orbits around other stars, their dynamical origins remain imperfectly understood. In th…
Feasibility of a resonance-based Planet Nine search
Elizabeth Bailey, Michael E. Brown, Konstantin Batygin
It has been proposed that mean motion resonances (MMRs) between Planet Nine and distant objects of the scattered disk might inform the semimajor axis and instantaneous position of…
Dynamics and Formation of the Near-Resonant K2-24 System: Insights from Transit-Timing Variations and Radial Velocities
Erik A. Petigura, Björn Benneke, Konstantin Batygin +8
While planets between the size of Uranus and Saturn are absent within the Solar System, the star K2-24 hosts two such planets, K2-24b and c, with radii equal to and $7.5~…
An Excess of Jupiter Analogs in Super-Earth Systems
Marta L. Bryan, Heather A. Knutson, Eve J. Lee +4
We use radial velocity observations to search for long-period gas giant companions in systems hosting inner super-Earth (1-4 R_Earth, 1-10 M_Earth) planets to constrain formation a…
HAT-P-11: Discovery of a Second Planet and a Clue to Understanding Exoplanet Obliquities
Samuel W. Yee, Erik A. Petigura, Benjamin J. Fulton +10
HAT-P-11 is a mid-K dwarf that hosts one of the first Neptune-sized planets found outside the solar system. The orbit of HAT-P-11b is misaligned with the star's spin --- one of the…
The Generation of the Distant Kuiper Belt by Planet Nine from an Initially Broad Perihelion Distribution
Tali Khain, Konstantin Batygin, Michael E. Brown
The observation that the orbits of long-period Kuiper Belt objects are anomalously clustered in physical space has recently prompted the Planet Nine hypothesis - the proposed exist…
