Role of Dynamical Research in the Detection and Characterization of Exoplanets
Eric B. Ford, Fred C. Adams, Phil Armitage +6
(Abridged) The discovery of extrasolar planetary systems revealed an unexpected diversity of planetary systems that has revolutionized planet formation theory. A strong program of…
Using Transit Timing Observations to Search for Trojans of Transiting Extrasolar Planets
Eric B. Ford, Matthew J. Holman
Theoretical studies predict that Trojans are likely a frequent byproduct of planet formation and evolution. We examine the sensitivity of transit timing observations for detecting…
Detecting and Characterizing Planetary Systems with Transit Timing
Jason H. Steffen, B. Scott Gaudi, Eric B. Ford +2
In the coming decades, research in extrasolar planets aims to advance two goals: 1) detecting and characterizing low-mass planets increasingly similar to the Earth, and 2) improvin…
Radio Astrometric Detection and Characterization of Extra-Solar Planets: A White Paper Submitted to the NSF ExoPlanet Task Force
Geoffrey C. Bower, Alberto Bolatto, Eric Ford +2
The extraordinary astrometric accuracy of radio interferometry creates an important and unique opportunity for the discovery and characterization of exo-planets. Currently, the Ver…
Dynamical Outcomes of Planet-Planet Scattering
Sourav Chatterjee, Eric B. Ford, Soko Matsumura +1
Observations in the past decade have revealed extrasolar planets with a wide range of orbital semimajor axes and eccentricities. Based on the present understanding of planet format…
Origins of Eccentric Extrasolar Planets: Testing the Planet-Planet Scattering Model
Eric B. Ford, Frederic A. Rasio
(Abridged) In planetary systems with two or more giant planets, dynamical instabilities can lead to collisions or ejections through strong planet--planet scattering. Previous studi…
