Growing Planets Produce Extreme Dust Signatures
Philip J. Carter, Zoë M. Leinhardt
Collisions between planetary bodies are essential to the assembly of rocky planets like the Earth, but they are extremely difficult to observe. We therefore rely on indirect signat…
A "New Hope" for Moon Formation: Presenting a Multiple Impact Pathway
Harrison Davies, Philip J. Carter, Louis Eddershaw +2
The leading hypothesis for the origin of the Moon, that of a single giant impact, faces significant challenges. These include either the need for an impactor with a near-identical…
Fractal Aggregate Aerosols in the Virga Cloud Code II: Exploring the Effects of Key Cloud Parameters in Warm Neptune, Hot Jupiter and Brown Dwarf Atmospheres
Matt G. Lodge, Sarah E. Moran, Hannah R. Wakeford +2
Aerosols and clouds are expected to be ubiquitous in exoplanet and brown dwarf atmospheres, where they can have a significant impact on transmission and emission spectra. The cloud…
Fractal Aggregate Aerosols in the Virga Cloud Code I: Model Description and Application to a Benchmark Cloudy Exoplanet
Sarah E. Moran, Matt G. Lodge, Natasha E. Batalha +5
We introduce new functionality to treat fractal aggregate aerosol particles within the Virga cloud modeling framework. Previously, the open source cloud modeling code Virga (Batalh…
Asteroids fail to retain cometary impact signatures
Sarah Joiret, Guillaume Avice, Ludovic Ferrière +4
A bombardment of comets is thought to have occurred in the inner solar system as a result of a dynamical instability among the giant planets after gas disk dispersal. Vesta, the se…
Atmospheric loss during giant impacts: mechanisms and scaling of near- and far-field loss
Matthew J. Roche, Simon J. Lock, Jingyao Dou +3
The primary epoch of planetary accretion concludes with giant impacts - highly energetic collisions between proto-planets that can play a key role in shaping a planet's inventory o…
MANTA-Ray: Supercharging Speeds for Calculating the Optical Properties of Fractal Aggregates in the Long-Wavelength Limit
M. G. Lodge, H. R. Wakeford, Z. M. Leinhardt
Correctly modelling the absorptive properties of dust and haze particles is of great importance for determining the abundance of solid matter within protoplanetary disks and planet…
Exploring the catastrophic regime: thermodynamics and disintegration in head-on planetary collisions
Jingyao Dou, Philip J Carter, Simon Lock +1
Head-on giant impacts (collisions between planet-size bodies) are frequently used to study the planet formation process as they present an extreme configuration where the two colli…
The PLATO Mission
Heike Rauer, Conny Aerts, Juan Cabrera +842
PLATO (PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars) is ESA's M3 mission designed to detect and characterise extrasolar planets and perform asteroseismic monitoring of a large numb…
Formation of super-Mercuries via giant impacts
Jingyao Dou, Philip J. Carter, Zoë M. Leinhardt
During the final stage of planetary formation, different formation pathways of planetary embryos could significantly influence the observed variations in planetary densities. Of th…
Post-Giant Impact Planetesimals Sustaining Extreme Debris Disks
Lewis Watt, Zoë M. Leinhardt, Philip J. Carter
Extreme debris disks can show short term behaviour through the evolution and clearing of small grains produced in giant impacts, and potentially a longer period of variability caus…
A planetary collision afterglow and transit of the resultant debris cloud
Matthew Kenworthy, Simon Lock, Grant Kennedy +19
Planets grow in rotating disks of dust and gas around forming stars, some of which can subsequently collide in giant impacts after the gas component is removed from the disk. Monit…
Modelling circumbinary protoplanetary disks II. Gas disk feedback on planetesimal dynamical and collisional evolution in the circumbinary systems Kepler-16 and 34
S. Lines, Z. M. Leinhardt, C. Baruteau +2
Aims. We investigate the feasibility of planetesimal growth in circumbinary protoplanetary disks around the observed systems Kepler- 16 and Kepler-34 under the gravitational influe…
