Coagulation Calculations of Icy Planet Formation Around 0.1--0.5~\msun\ Stars: Super-Earths From Large Planetestimals
Scott J. Kenyon, Benjamin C. Bromley
We investigate formation mechanisms for icy super-Earth mass planets orbiting at 2-20 AU around 0.1-0.5 solar mass stars. A large ensemble of coagulation calculations demonstrates…
A Combined VLT and Gemini Study of the Atmosphere of the Directly-Imaged Planet, beta Pictoris b
Thayne Currie, Adam Burrows, Nikku Madhusudhan +10
We analyze new/archival VLT/NaCo and Gemini/NICI high-contrast imaging of the young, self-luminous planet Pictoris b in seven near-to-mid IR photometric filters, using advanced…
The Formation of Pluto's Low Mass Satellites
Scott J. Kenyon, Benjamin C. Bromley
Motivated by the New Horizons mission, we consider how Pluto's small satellites -- currently Styx, Nix, Kerberos, and Hydra -- grow in debris from the giant impact that forms the P…
Migration of small moons in Saturn's rings
Benjamin C. Bromley, Scott J. Kenyon
The motions of small moons through Saturn's rings provide excellent tests of radial migration models. In theory, torque exchange between these moons and ring particles leads to rad…
