Giant Planet Formation, Evolution, and Internal Structure
Ravit Helled, Peter Bodenheimer, Morris Podolak +7
The large number of detected giant exoplanets offers the opportunity to improve our understanding of the formation mechanism, evolution, and interior structure of gas giant planets…
Early evolution of clumps formed via gravitational instability in protoplanetary disks; precursors of Hot Jupiters?
Marina Galvagni, Lucio Mayer
Although it is fairly established that Gravitational Instability (GI) should occur in the early phases of the evolution of a protoplanetary disk, the fate of the clumps resulting f…
Nuclear coups: dynamics of black holes in galaxy mergers
Sandor Van Wassenhove, Pedro R. Capelo, Marta Volonteri +4
We study the dynamical evolution of supermassive black holes (BHs) in merging galaxies on scales of hundreds of kpc to 10 pc, to identify the physical processes that aid or hinder…
The ACS LCID project. IX. Imprints of the early Universe in the radial variation of the star formation history of dwarf galaxies
Sebastian L. Hidalgo, Matteo Monelli, Antonio Aparicio +8
Based on Hubble Space Telescope observations from the Local Cosmology from Isolated Dwarfs project, we present the star formation histories, as a function of galactocentric radius,…
Massive Black Hole binaries in gas-rich galaxy mergers; multiple regimes of orbital decay and interplay with gas inflows
Lucio Mayer
We revisit the phases of the pairing and sinking of BHs in galaxy mergers and circunmunclear disks in light of the results of recent simulations with massive BHs embedded in predom…
The Baryon Cycle of Dwarf Galaxies: Dark, Bursty, Gas-Rich Polluters
Sijing Shen, Piero Madau, Charlie Conroy +2
We present results from a fully cosmological, very high-resolution, LCDM "zoom-in" simulation of a group of seven field dwarf galaxies with present-day virial masses in the range M…
