Flickering in FU Orionis
Scott J. Kenyon, E. A. Kolotilov, M. A. Ibragimov +1
We analyze new and published optical photometric data of FU Orionis, an eruptive pre-main sequence star. The outburst consists of a 5.5 mag rise at B with an e-folding timescale of…
Forming the Dusty Ring in HR 4796A
Scott J. Kenyon, Kenneth Wood, Barbara A. Whitney +1
We describe planetesimal accretion calculations for the dusty ring observed in the nearby A0 star HR 4796A. Models with initial masses of 10-20 times the minimum mass solar nebula…
Accretion in the Early Outer Solar System
Scott J. Kenyon, Jane X. Luu
We describe calculations of the evolution of an ensemble of small planetesimals in the outer solar system. In a solar nebula with a mass of several times the Minimum Mass Solar Neb…
Accretion in the Early Kuiper Belt II. Fragmentation
Scott J. Kenyon, Jane X. Luu
We describe new planetesimal accretion calculations in the Kuiper Belt that include fragmentation and velocity evolution. All models produce two power law cumulative size distribut…
Accretion Disks and Eruptive Phenomena
Scott J. Kenyon
This paper describes eruptive phenomena in pre-main sequence stars. The eruptions of FU Orionis stars have much in common with outbursts in other accreting systems, such as dwarf n…
