Atmospheric Dynamics of Hot Exoplanets
Kevin Heng, Adam P. Showman
The characterization of exoplanetary atmospheres has come of age in the last decade, as astronomical techniques now allow for albedos, chemical abundances, temperature profiles and…
The Nature of Scientific Proof in the Age of Simulations
Kevin Heng
Is numerical mimicry a third way of establishing truth?
Magnetohydrodynamic Shallow Water Waves: Linear Analysis
Kevin Heng, Anatoly Spitkovsky
We present a linear analysis of inviscid, incompressible, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) shallow water systems. In spherical geometry, a generic property of such systems is the existenc…
Planetesimal Disk Microlensing
Kevin Heng, Charles R. Keeton
Motivated by debris disk studies, we investigate the gravitational microlensing of background starlight by a planetesimal disk around a foreground star. We use dynamical survival m…
