`Tail-end' Bondi-Hoyle accretion in young star clusters: Implications for disks, planets, and stars
Henry B. Throop, John Bally
Young stars orbiting in the gravitational potential well of forming star clusters pass through the cluster's dense molecular gas and can experience Bondi-Hoyle accretion from reser…
Ralph: A Visible/Infrared Imager for the New Horizons Pluto/Kuiper Belt Mission
Dennis C. Reuter, S. Alan Stern, John Scherrer +17
The New Horizons instrument named Ralph is a visible/near infrared multi-spectral imager and a short wavelength infrared spectral imager. It is one of the core instruments on New H…
Can photo-evaporation trigger planetesimal formation?
Henry B. Throop, John Bally
We propose that UV radiation can stimulate the formation of planetesimals in externally-illuminated protoplanetary disks. We present a numerical model of disk evolution including v…
Phase light curves for extrasolar Jupiters and Saturns
Ulyana A. Dyudina, Penny D. Sackett, Daniel D. R. Bayliss +4
We predict how a remote observer would see the brightness variations of giant planets similar to Jupiter and Saturn as they orbit their central stars. We model the geometry of Jupi…
Evidence for dust grain growth in young circumstellar disks
Henry B. Throop, John Bally, Larry W. Esposito +1
Hundreds of circumstellar disks in the Orion nebula are being rapidly destroyed by the intense ultraviolet radiation produced by nearby bright stars. These young, million-year-old…
