Symbiotic star candidates in Gaia Data Release 3

Samantha E. Ball, Benjamin C. Bromley, Scott J. Kenyon

Symbiotic stars, binary pairs with a cool giant fueling accretion onto a hot compact companion, offer unique insights to our understanding of stellar evolution. Yet, only a few hun…

A Pluto-Charon Sonata V. Long-term Stability of the HST State Vector

Scott J. Kenyon, Benjamin C. Bromley

We analyze a new set of 275 n-body calculations designed to place limits on the masses of the small circumbinary satellites in the Pluto-Charon system. Together with calculations r…

Polarization of circumstellar debris disk light echoes

Austin J. King, Benjamin C. Bromley, Preston W. Harris +1

Light echoes of debris disks around active stars can reveal disk structure and composition even when disks are not spatially resolved. Unfortunately, distinguishing reflected light…

Magnetic interactions in orbital dynamics

Benjamin C. Bromley, Scott J. Kenyon

The magnetic field of a host star can impact the orbit of a stellar partner, planet, or asteroid if the orbiting body is itself magnetic or electrically conducting. Here, we focus…

A Pluto--Charon Sonata IV. Improved Constraints on the Dynamical Behavior and Masses of the Small Satellites

Scott J. Kenyon, Benjamin C. Bromley

We discuss a new set of 500 numerical n-body calculations designed to constrain the masses and bulk densities of Styx, Nix, Kerberos, and Hydra. Comparisons of different tec…

From Pebbles and Planetesimals to Planets and Dust: the Protoplanetary Disk--Debris Disk Connection

Joan R. Najita, Scott J. Kenyon, Benjamin C. Bromley

The similar orbital distances and detection rates of debris disks and the prominent rings observed in protoplanetary disks suggest a potential connection between these structures.…
