Dust Attenuation in High Redshift Galaxies -- 'Diamonds in the Sky'
Nick Scoville, Andreas Faisst, Peter Capak +3
We use observed optical to near infrared spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of 266 galaxies in the COSMOS survey to derive the wavelength dependence of the dust attenuation at hi…
Pre-LHB Evolution of the Earth's Obliquity
Gongjie Li, Konstantin Batygin
The Earth's obliquity is stabilized by the Moon, which facilitates a rapid precession of the Earth's spin-axis, de-tuning the system away from resonance with orbital modulation. It…
The Dynamics of the Multi-planet System Orbiting Kepler-56
Gongjie Li, Smadar Naoz, Francesca Valsecchi +2
Kepler-56 is a multi-planet system containing two coplanar inner planets that are in orbits misaligned with respect to the spin axis of the host star, and an outer planet. Various…
Chaos in the Test Particle Eccentric Kozai-Lidov Mechanism
Gongjie Li, Smadar Naoz, Matt Holman +1
The Kozai-Lidov mechanism can be applied to a vast variety of astrophysical systems involving hierarchical three-body systems. Here, we study the Kozai-Lidov mechanism systematical…
On the Spin-axis Dynamics of a Moonless Earth
Gongjie Li, Konstantin Batygin
The variation of a planet's obliquity is influenced by the existence of satellites with a high mass ratio. For instance, the Earth's obliquity is stabilized by the Moon, and would…
