On the growth and stability of Trojan planets
Paul Cresswell, Richard P. Nelson
We investigate the stability of those low-mass Trojan planets that form in a protoplanetary disc and subsequently accrete gas to become gas giants. We calculate their evolution bef…
New methods for large dynamical range problems in planetary formation
D. S. McNeil, R. P. Nelson
Modern N-body techniques for planetary dynamics are generally based on symplectic algorithms specially adapted to the Kepler problem. These methods have proven very useful in study…
On the formation and migration of giant planets in circumbinary discs
Arnaud Pierens, Richard P. Nelson
We present the results of hydrodynamic simulations of the formation and subsequent orbital evolution of giant planets embedded in a circumbinary disc. We assume that a 20 earth mas…
Constraints on resonant-trapping for two planets embedded in a protoplanetary disc
Arnaud Pierens, Richard P. Nelson
We investigate the evolution of two-planet systems embedded in a protoplanetary disc, which are composed of a Jupiter-mass planet plus another body located further out in the disc.…
On the evolution of multiple low mass planets embedded in a circumbinary disc
Arnaud Pierens, Richard P. Nelson
Previous work has shown that the tidal interaction between a binary system and a circumbinary disc leads to the formation of a large inner cavity in the disc. Subsequent formation…
On the formation of terrestrial planets in hot-Jupiter systems
Martyn J. Fogg, Richard P. Nelson
We present a series of calculations aimed at examining how an inner system of planetesimals/protoplanets, undergoing terrestrial planet formation, evolves under the influence of a…
