A study of the high-inclination population in the Kuiper belt -- III. The 4:7 mean motion resonance

Jian Li, S. M. Lawler, Li-Yong Zhou +1

The high-inclination population in the 4:7 mean motion resonance (MMR) with Neptune has also substantial eccentricities (), with more inclined objects tending to occup…

Consequences of a Distant Massive Planet on the Large Semi-major Axis Trans-Neptunian Objects

C. Shankman, JJ Kavelaars, S. M. Lawler +2

We explore the distant giant planet hypothesis by integrating the large semi-major axis, large pericenter Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) in the presence of the giant planets and an…

Searching for the HR 8799 Debris Disk with HST/STIS

Benjamin L. Gerard, Samantha M. Lawler, Christian Marois +3

We present a new algorithm for space telescope high contrast imaging of close-to-face-on planetary disks called Optimized Spatially Filtered (OSFi) normalization. This algorithm is…

Fomalhaut b as a Dust Cloud: Frequent Collisions within the Fomalhaut Disk

S. M. Lawler, S. Greenstreet, B. Gladman

The planet candidate Fomalhaut b is bright in optical light but undetected in longer wavelengths, requiring a large, reflective dust cloud. The most recent observations find an ext…

Plutino Detection Biases, Including the Kozai Resonance

S. M. Lawler, B. Gladman

Because of their proximity within the transneptunian region, the plutinos (objects in the 3:2 mean-motion resonance with Neptune) are numerous in flux-limited catalogs, and well-st…

Debris Disks in Kepler Exoplanet Systems

S. M. Lawler, B. Gladman

The Kepler Mission recently identified 997 systems hosting candidate extrasolar planets, many of which are super-Earths. Realizing these planetary systems are candidates to host ex…
