The Pan-Pacific Planet Search VII: The most eccentric planet orbiting a giant star

Robert A. Wittenmyer, M. I. Jones, Jonathan Horner +9

Radial velocity observations from three instruments reveal the presence of a 4 M_jup planet candidate orbiting the K giant HD 76920. HD 76920b has an orbital eccentricity of 0.856$…

Circularizing Planet Nine through dynamical friction with an extended, cold planetesimal belt

Linn E. J. Eriksson, Alexander J. Mustill, Anders Johansen

Unexpected clustering in the orbital elements of minor bodies beyond the Kuiper belt has led to speculations that our solar system actually hosts nine planets, the eight establishe…

Is there an exoplanet in the Solar System?

Alexander J. Mustill, Sean N. Raymond, Melvyn B. Davies

We investigate the prospects for the capture of the proposed Planet 9 from other stars in the Sun's birth cluster. Any capture scenario must satisfy three conditions: the encounter…

Hot Jupiters and Super-Earths

Alexander James Mustill, Melvyn B Davies, Anders Johansen

We explore the role of dynamics in shaping planetary system multiplicities, focussing on two particular problems. (1) We propose that the lack of close-in super-Earths in hot Jupit…

Full-lifetime simulations of multiple unequal-mass planets across all phases of stellar evolution

Dimitri Veras, Alexander J. Mustill, Boris T. Gaensicke +4

We know that planetary systems are just as common around white dwarfs as around main sequence stars. However, self-consistently linking a planetary system across these two phases o…

Foretellings of Ragnarök: World-engulfing Asymptotic Giants and the Inheritance of White Dwarfs

Alexander James Mustill, Eva Villaver

The search for planets around White Dwarf stars, and evidence for dynamical instability around them in the form of atmospheric pollution and circumstellar discs, raises questions a…
