Variations on Debris Disks III. Collisional Cascades and Giant Impacts in the Terrestrial Zones of Solar-type Stars

Scott J. Kenyon, Benjamin C. Bromley

We analyze two new sets of coagulation calculations for solid particles orbiting within the terrestrial zone of a solar-type star. In models of collisional cascades, numerical simu…

Collisional Cascade Caclulations for Irregular Satellite Swarms in Fomalhaut b

Scott J. Kenyon, Benjamin C. Bromley

We describe an extensive suite of numerical calculations for the collisional evolution of irregular satellite swarms around 1--300 M-earth planets orbiting at 120 AU in the Fomalha…

Evolution of a ring around the Pluto-Charon binary

B. C. Bromley, S. J. Kenyon

We consider the formation of satellites around the Pluto-Charon binary. An early collision between the two partners likely produced the binary and a narrow ring of debris, out of w…

Planet formation around binary stars: Tatooine made easy

B. C. Bromley, S. J. Kenyon

We examine characteristics of circumbinary orbits in the context of current planet formation scenarios. Analytical perturbation theory predicts the existence of nested circumbinary…

Formation of Super-Earth Mass Planets at 125-250 AU from a Solar-type Star

S. J. Kenyon, B. C. Bromley

We investigate pathways for the formation of icy super-Earth mass planets orbiting at 125-250 AU around a 1 solar mass star. An extensive suite of coagulation calculations demonstr…
