Relativistic Effects in Extrasolar Planetary Systems
Fred C. Adams, Gregory Laughlin
This paper considers general relativistic (GR) effects in currently observed extrasolar planetary systems. Although GR corrections are small, they can compete with secular interact…
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,…
Are Proxima and Alpha Centauri Gravitationally Bound?
Jeremy G. Wertheimer, Gregory Laughlin
Using the most recent kinematic and radial velocity data in the literature, we calculate the binding energy of Proxima Centauri relative to the center of mass of the Alpha Centauri…
Long Term Evolution of Close Planets Including the Effects of Secular Interactions
Fred C. Adams, Gregory Laughlin
This paper studies the long term evolution of planetary systems containing short-period planets, including the effects of tidal circularization, secular excitation of eccentricity…
Effects of Secular Interactions in Extrasolar Planetary Systems
Fred C. Adams, Gregory Laughlin
This paper studies the effects of dynamical interactions among the planets in observed extrasolar planetary systems, including hypothetical additional bodies, with a focus on secul…
The N2K Consortium VI: Doppler Shifts Without Templates and Three New Short-Period Planets
John A. Johnson, Geoffrey W. Marcy, Debra A. Fischer +7
We present a modification to the iodine cell Doppler technique that eliminates the need for an observed stellar template spectrum. For a given target star, we iterate toward a synt…
