Architectures of Compact Multi-planet Systems: Diversity and Uniformity

Lauren M. Weiss, Sarah C. Millholland, Erik A. Petigura +4

One of the most important developments in exoplanet science in the past decade is the discovery of multi-planet systems with sub-Neptune-sized planets interior to 1~AU. This chapte…

Energy Optimization in Extrasolar Planetary Systems: The Transition from Peas-in-a-Pod to Runaway Growth

Fred C. Adams, Konstantin Batygin, Anthony M. Bloch +1

Motivated by the trends found in the observed sample of extrasolar planets, this paper determines tidal equilibrium states for forming planetary systems --- subject to conservation…

The Stability of Tidal Equilibrium for Hierarchical Star-Planet-Moon Systems

Fred C. Adams, Anthony M. Bloch

Motivated by the current search for exomoons, this paper considers the stability of tidal equilibrium for hierarchical three-body systems containing a star, a planet, and a moon. I…

On the Stability of Extrasolar Planetary Systems and other Closely Orbiting Pairs

Fred C. Adams, Anthony M. Bloch

This paper considers the stability of tidal equilibria for planetary systems in which stellar rotation provides a significant contribution to the angular momentum budget. We begin…

Mean Motion Resonances in Exoplanet Systems: An Investigation Into Nodding Behavior

Jacob A. Ketchum, Fred C. Adams, Anthony M. Bloch

Motivated by the large number of extrasolar planetary systems that are near mean motion resonances, this paper explores a related type of dynamical behavior known as "nodding". Her…

Accretion of Rocky Planets by Hot Jupiters

Jacob A. Ketchum, Fred C. Adams, Anthony M. Bloch

The observed population of Hot Jupiters displays a stunning variety of physical properties, including a wide range of densities and core sizes for a given planetary mass. Motivated…
