Machine Learning Classification of Kuiper Belt Populations
Rachel A. Smullen, Kathryn Volk
In the outer solar system, the Kuiper Belt contains dynamical sub-populations sculpted by a combination of planet formation and migration and gravitational perturbations from the p…
The highly variable time evolution of star-forming cores identified with dendrograms
Rachel A. Smullen, Kaitlin M. Kratter, Stella S. R. Offner +2
We investigate the time evolution of dense cores identified in molecular cloud simulations using dendrograms, which are a common tool to identify hierarchical structure in simulati…
The Formation and Evolution of Wide-Orbit Stellar Multiples In Magnetized Clouds
Aaron T. Lee, Stella S. R. Offner, Kaitlin M. Kratter +2
Stars rarely form in isolation. Nearly half of the stars in the Milky Way have a companion, and this fraction increases in star-forming regions. However, why some dense cores and f…
Planet Scattering Around Binaries: Ejections, Not Collisions
Rachel A. Smullen, Kaitlin M. Kratter, Andrew Shannon
Transiting circumbinary planets discovered by Kepler provide unique insight into binary star and planet formation. Several features of this new found population, for example the ap…
Heartbeat Stars: Spectroscopic Orbital Solutions for Six Eccentric Binary Systems
Rachel A. Smullen, Henry A. Kobulnicky
We present multi-epoch spectroscopy of "heartbeat stars," eccentric binaries with dynamic tidal distortions and tidally induced pulsations originally discovered with the Kepler sat…
