Orbital Stability of Circumstellar Planets in Binary Systems
Billy Quarles, Gongjie Li, Veselin Kostov +1
Planets that orbit only one of the stars in stellar binary systems (i.e., circumstellar) are dynamically constrained to a limited range of orbital parameters and thus understanding…
Obliquity Evolution of Circumstellar Planets in Sun-like Stellar Binaries
Billy Quarles, Gongjie Li, Jack J. Lissauer
Changes in planetary obliquity, or axial tilt, influence the climates on Earth-like planets. In the solar system, the Earth's obliquity is stabilized due to interactions with our m…
Relativistic Mean Motion Resonance
Huan Yang, Béatrice Bonga, Zhipeng Peng +1
Mean motion resonances are commonly seen in planetary systems, e.g., in the formation of orbital structure of Jupiter's moons and the gaps in the rings of Saturn. In this work we s…
Growth Model Interpretation of Planet Size Distribution
Li Zeng, Stein B. Jacobsen, Dimitar D. Sasselov +13
The radii and orbital periods of 4000+ confirmed/candidate exoplanets have been precisely measured by the Kepler mission. The radii show a bimodal distribution, with two peaks corr…
Could there be an undetected inner planet near the stability limit in Kepler-1647?
Ziqian Hong, Billy Quarles, Gongjie Li +1
Kepler-1647b is the most recently discovered planet that transits two stars, i.e., a circumbinary planet (CBP). Due to its large orbital separation, Kepler-1647b stands out from th…
