Tidal disruption and evaporation of rubble-pile and monolithic bodies as a source of flaring activity in Sgr A^\star$
Wen-Han Zhou, Yun Zhang, Jiamu Huang +1
Sgr A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, exhibits frequent short-duration flares with luminosity greater than 1e34 erg/s across multiple wavelengths. The…
White dwarf magnetospheres: Shielding volatile content of icy objects and implications for volatile pollution scarcity
Wen-Han Zhou, Shang-Fei Liu, Douglas N. C. Lin
Context. About 25% -- 50% of white dwarfs are found to be contaminated by heavy elements, which are believed to originate from external sources such as planetary materials. Element…
Constraining the Oblateness of Kepler Planets
Wei Zhu, Chelsea Huang, George Zhou +1
We use Kepler short cadence light curves to constrain the oblateness of planet candidates in the Kepler sample. The transits of rapidly rotating planets that are deformed in shape…
On the Formation of Brown Dwarfs
Ing-Guey Jiang, G. Laughlin, D. N. C. Lin
The observational properties of brown dwarfs pose challenges to the theory of star formation. Because their mass is much smaller than the typical Jeans mass of interstellar clouds,…

Individual and collective behavior of dust particles in a protoplanetary nebula
P. Garaud, L. Barrière-Fouchet, D. N. C. Lin
We study the interaction between gas and dust particles in a protoplanetary disk, comparing analytical and numerical results. We first calculate analytically the trajectories of in…
