Increasing the Discovery Space in Astrophysics - A Collation of Six Submitted White Papers
G. Fabbiano, M. Elvis, A. Accomazzi +46
We write in response to the call from the 2020 Decadal Survey to submit white papers illustrating the most pressing scientific questions in astrophysics for the coming decade. We p…
Planet formation: The case for large efforts on the computational side
Wladimir Lyra, Thomas Haworth, Bertram Bitsch +54
Modern astronomy has finally been able to observe protoplanetary disks in reasonable resolution and detail, unveiling the processes happening during planet formation. These observe…
Formation of short-period planets by disk migration
Daniel Carrera, Eric B. Ford, Andre Izidoro
Protoplanetary disks are thought to be truncated at orbital periods of around 10 days. Therefore, origin of rocky short period planets with days is a puzzle. We propose th…
Planet-planet scattering as the source of the highest eccentricity exoplanets
Daniel Carrera, Sean R. Raymond, Melvyn B. Davies
Most giant exoplanets discovered by radial velocity surveys have much higher eccentricities than those in the solar system. The planet--planet scattering mechanism has been shown t…
