The Rise and Fall of Debris Disks: MIPS Observations of h and chi Persei and the Evolution of Mid-IR Emission from Planet Formation
Thayne Currie, Scott Kenyon, Zoltan Balog +3
We describe Spitzer/MIPS observations of the double cluster, h and Persei, covering a 0.6 square-degree area surrounding the cores of both clusters. The data are combine…
Hypervelocity Stars III. The Space Density and Ejection History of Main Sequence Stars from the Galactic Center
Warren R. Brown, Margaret J. Geller, Scott J. Kenyon +2
We report the discovery of 3 new unbound hypervelocity stars (HVSs), stars traveling with such extreme velocities that dynamical ejection from a massive black hole (MBH) is their o…
The periodic standing-wave approximation: post-Minkowski computation
Christopher Beetle, Benjamin Bromley, Napoleón Hernández +1
The periodic standing wave method studies circular orbits of compact objects coupled to helically symmetric standing wave gravitational fields. From this solution an approximation…
Terrestrial Zone Debris Disk Candidates in h and chi Persei
Thayne Currie, Scott J. Kenyon, George Rieke +2
We analyze 8 sources with strong mid-infrared excesses in the 13 Myr-old double cluster h and chi Persei. New optical spectra and broadband SEDs (0.36-8 mu_m) are consistent with c…
Formation and Collisional Evolution of Kuiper Belt Objects
Scott J. Kenyon, Benjamin C. Bromley, David P. O'Brien +1
This chapter summarizes analytic theory and numerical calculations for the formation and collisional evolution of KBOs at 20--150 AU. We describe the main predictions of a baseline…
