The Fate of Scattered Planets
Benjamin C. Bromley, Scott J. Kenyon
As gas giant planets evolve, they may scatter other planets far from their original orbits to produce hot Jupiters or rogue planets that are not gravitationally bound to any star.…
The Distortion of the Cosmic Microwave Background by the Milky Way
Benjamin Czaja, Benjamin C. Bromley
The Milky Way can act as a large-scale weak gravitational lens of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). We study this effect using a photon ray-tracing code and a Galactic mass di…
Predicted Space Motions for Hypervelocity and Runaway Stars: Proper Motions and Radial Velocities for the GAIA Era
Scott J. Kenyon, Benjamin C. Bromley, Warren R. Brown +1
We predict the distinctive three dimensional space motions of hypervelocity stars (HVSs) and runaway stars moving in a realistic Galactic potential. For nearby stars with distances…
Fomalhaut b as a Cloud of Dust: Testing Aspects of Planet Formation Theory
Scott J. Kenyon, Thayne Currie, Benjamin C. Bromley
We consider the ability of three models - impacts, captures, and collisional cascades - to account for a bright cloud of dust in Fomalhaut b. Our analysis is based on a novel appro…
