Rapid Formation of Icy Super-Earths and the Cores of Gas Giant Planets
Scott J. Kenyon, Benjamin C. Bromley
We describe a coagulation model that leads to the rapid formation of super-Earths and the cores of gas giant planets. Interaction of collision fragments with the gaseous disk is th…
The Anisotropic Spatial Distribution of Hypervelocity Stars
Warren R. Brown, Margaret J. Geller, Scott J. Kenyon +1
We study the distribution of angular positions and angular separations of unbound hypervelocity stars (HVSs). HVSs are spatially anisotropic at the 3-sigma level. The spatial aniso…
Variations on Debris Disks: Icy Planet Formation at 30-150 AU for 1-3 Solar Mass Main Sequence Stars
Scott J. Kenyon, Benjamin C. Bromley
We describe calculations for the formation of icy planets and debris disks at 30-150 AU around 1-3 solar mass stars. Debris disk formation coincides with the formation of planetary…
Hypervelocity Stars: From the Galactic Center to the Halo
S. J. Kenyon, B. C. Bromley, M. J. Geller +1
Hypervelocity stars (HVS) traverse the Galaxy from the central black hole to the outer halo. We show that the Galactic potential within 200 pc acts as a high pass filter preventing…
