Detection of Intermediate-Period Transiting Planets with a Network of Small Telescopes: transitsearch.org
Scott Seagroves, Justin Harker, Gregory Laughlin +2
We describe a project (transitsearch.org) currently attempting to discover transiting intermediate-period planets orbiting bright parent stars, and we simulate that project's perfo…
On the Formation of Brown Dwarfs
Ing-Guey Jiang, G. Laughlin, D. N. C. Lin
The observational properties of brown dwarfs pose challenges to the theory of star formation. Because their mass is much smaller than the typical Jeans mass of interstellar clouds,…
Type I Planetary Migration with MHD Turbulence
Gregory Laughlin, Adriane Steinacker, Fred Adams
This paper examines how type I planet migration is affected by the presence of turbulent density fluctuations in the circumstellar disk. For type I migration, the planet does not c…
Branch, Spur, and Feather Formation in Spiral Galaxies
S. Chakrabarti, G. Laughlin, F. H. Shu
We use hydrodynamical simulations to investigate the response of geometrically thin, self-gravitating, singular isothermal disks of gas to imposed rigidly rotating spiral potential…
On the Radii of Extrasolar Giant Planets
P. Bodenheimer, G. Laughlin, D. N. C. Lin
We have computed evolutionary models for extrasolar planets which range in mass from 0.1 to 3.0 Jovian Masses, and which range in equilibrium temperature from 113 K to 2000 K. We p…
Migration and Dynamical Relaxation in Crowded Systems of Giant Planets
Fred C. Adams, Greg Laughlin
This paper explores the intermediate-time dynamics of newly formed solar systems with a focus on possible mechanisms for planetary migration. We consider two limiting corners of th…
