Formation of compact systems of super-Earths via dynamical instabilities and giant impacts
Sanson T. S. Poon, Richard P. Nelson, Seth A. Jacobson +1
NASA's Kepler mission discovered planets in multi-planet systems containing 3 or more transiting bodies, many of which are super-Earths and mini-Neptunes in compact confi…
Constraints on terrestrial planet formation timescales and equilibration processes in the Grand Tack scenario from Hf-W isotopic evolution
Nicholas G. Zube, Francis Nimmo, Rebecca Fischer +1
We examine 141 N-body simulations of terrestrial planet late-stage accretion that use the Grand Tack scenario, coupling the collisional results with a hafnium-tungsten (Hf-W) isoto…
Population control of Mars Trojans by the Yarkovsky & YORP effects
Apostolos A. Christou, Galin Borisov, Aldo Dell'Oro +3
We explore the hypothesis that the population of Martian Trojans is the result of a balance between the production of new asteroids ("YORPlets") through the YORP effect and their e…
Astro2020: Training the Future Generation of Computational Researchers
Gurtina Besla, Daniela Huppenkothen, Nicole Lloyd-Ronning +10
The current disparity in computational knowledge is a critical hindrance to the diversity and success of the field. Recommendations are outlined for policies and funding models to…
Formation of planetary systems by pebble accretion and migration: Growth of gas giants
Bertram Bitsch, André Izidoro, Anders Johansen +4
Giant planets migrate though the protoplanetary disc as they grow. We investigate how the formation of planetary systems depends on the radial flux of pebbles through the protoplan…
Formation of planetary systems by pebble accretion and migration: How the radial pebble flux determines a terrestrial-planet or super-Earth growth mode
Michiel Lambrechts, Alessandro Morbidelli, Seth A. Jacobson +4
Super-Earths are found in tighter orbits than the Earth's around more than one third of main sequence stars. It has been proposed that super-Earths are scaled-up terrestrial planet…
Formation of planetary systems by pebble accretion and migration: Hot super-Earth systems from breaking compact resonant chains
André Izidoro, Bertram Bitsch, Sean N. Raymond +4
At least 30\% of main sequence stars host planets with sizes of between 1 and 4 Earth radii and orbital periods of less than 100 days. We use N-body simulations including a model f…
