The Long-Term Dynamical Evolution of Planetary Systems
Melvyn B. Davies, Fred C. Adams, Philip Armitage +5
This chapter concerns the long-term dynamical evolution of planetary systems from both theoretical and observational perspectives. We begin by discussing the planet-planet interact…
RUN DMC: An efficient, parallel code for analyzing Radial Velocity Observations using N-body Integrations and Differential Evolution Markov chain Monte Carlo
Benjamin E. Nelson, Eric B. Ford, Matthew J. Payne
In the 20+ years of Doppler observations of stars, scientists have uncovered a diverse population of extrasolar multi-planet systems. A common technique for characterizing the orbi…
Stellar Spin-Orbit Misalignment in a Multiplanet System
Daniel Huber, Joshua A. Carter, Mauro Barbieri +32
Stars hosting hot Jupiters are often observed to have high obliquities, whereas stars with multiple co-planar planets have been seen to have low obliquities. This has been interpre…
A Habitable Zone Census via Transit Timing and the Imperative for Continuing to Observe the Kepler Field
Daniel C. Fabrycky, Eric B. Ford, Matthew J. Payne +5
We propose a scientific program to complete a census of planets, characterizing their masses, orbital properties, and dynamical histories using continued observations of the Kepler…
The Formation of Systems with Tightly-packed Inner Planets (STIPs) via Aerodynamic Drift
Aaron C. Boley, Eric B. Ford
The NASA Kepler mission has revealed an abundant class of Systems with Tightly-packed Inner Planets (STIPs). The current paradigm for planet formation suggests that small planetesi…
Characterizing the Orbital and Dynamical State of the HD 82943 Planetary System With Keck Radial Velocity Data
Xianyu Tan, Matthew J. Payne, Man Hoi Lee +5
We present an updated analysis of radial velocity data of the HD 82943 planetary system based on 10 years of measurements obtained with the Keck telescope. Previous studies have sh…
