The Fate of Scattered Planets
Benjamin C. Bromley, Scott J. Kenyon
As gas giant planets evolve, they may scatter other planets far from their original orbits to produce hot Jupiters or rogue planets that are not gravitationally bound to any star.…
The Mass Budget of Planet Forming Discs: Isolating the Epoch of Planetesimal Formation
J. R. Najita, S. J. Kenyon
The high rate of planet detection among solar-type stars argues that planet formation is common. It is also generally assumed that planets form in protoplanetary discs like those o…
Deep Thermal Infrared Imaging of HR 8799 bcde: New Atmospheric Constraints and Limits on a Fifth Planet
Thayne Currie, Adam Burrows, Julien H. Girard +10
We present new (3.8 ) and Br- (4.05 ) data and reprocessed archival data for the young, planet-hosting star HR 8799 obtained with Keck/NIRC2, VLT/N…
Fomalhaut b as a Cloud of Dust: Testing Aspects of Planet Formation Theory
Scott J. Kenyon, Thayne Currie, Benjamin C. Bromley
We consider the ability of three models - impacts, captures, and collisional cascades - to account for a bright cloud of dust in Fomalhaut b. Our analysis is based on a novel appro…
