Sustainable Skies and the Earth-Space Environment

Andrew Williams, Aaron Boley, Giuliana Rotola +1

The rapid launch of hundreds of thousands of satellites into Low Earth Orbit will significantly alter our view of the sky and raise concerns about the sustainability of Earth's orb…

ALMA and VLA Observations of the HD 141569 System

Jacob Aaron White, A. C. Boley, M. A. MacGregor +2

We present VLA 9 mm (33 GHz) observations of the HD 141569 system from semester 16A. The observations achieve a resolution of 0.25 arcsec ( au) and a sensitivity of $4.7~μ\…

1.3 mm ALMA Observations of the Fomalhaut Debris System

J. A. White, A. C. Boley, W. R. F. Dent +2

We present ALMA Band 6 observations (1.3 mm/233 GHz) of Fomalhaut and its debris disc. The observations achieve a sensitivity of 17 Jy and a resolution of 0.28 arcsec (2.1 au at…

The In Situ Formation of Giant Planets at Short Orbital Periods

A. C. Boley, A. P. Granados Contreras, B. Gladman

We propose that two of the most surprising results so far among exoplanet discoveries are related: the existences of both hot Jupiters and the high frequency of multi-planet system…

Overcoming the Meter Barrier and The Formation of Systems with Tightly-packed Inner Planets (STIPs)

Aaron C. Boley, Melissa A. Morris, Eric B. Ford

We present a solution to the long outstanding meter barrier problem in planet formation theory. As solids spiral inward due to aerodynamic drag, they will enter disk regions that a…

The collapse of protoplanetary clumps formed through disc instability: 3D simulations of the pre-dissociation phase

M. Galvagni, T. Hayfield, A. C. Boley +3

We present 3D smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations of the collapse of clumps formed through gravitational instability in the outer part of a protoplanetary disc. The initial…
