Saturn Forms by Core Accretion in 3.4 Myr
Sarah E. Dodson-Robinson, Peter Bodenheimer, Gregory Laughlin +3
We present two new in situ core accretion simulations of Saturn with planet formation timescales of 3.37 Myr (model S0) and 3.48 Myr (model S1), consistent with observed protostell…
Ice Lines, Planetesimal Composition and Solid Surface Density in the Solar Nebula
Sarah E. Dodson-Robinson, Karen Willacy, Peter Bodenheimer +2
To date, there is no core accretion simulation that can successfully account for the formation of Uranus or Neptune within the observed 2-3 Myr lifetimes of protoplanetary disks. S…
Interaction of Close-in Planets with the Magnetosphere of their Host Stars I: Diffusion, Ohmic Dissipation of Time Dependent Field, Planetary Inflation, and Mass Loss
Randy O. Laine, Douglas N. C. Lin, Shawfeng Dong
The unanticipated discovery of the first close-in planet around 51 Peg has rekindled the notion that shortly after their formation outside the snow line, some planets may have migr…
Disentangling the Galaxy at low Galactic latitudes
M. Cignoni, M. Tosi, A. Bragaglia +2
We have used the field stars from the open cluster survey BOCCE, to study three low-latitude fields imaged with the Canada-France-Hawaii telescope (CFHT), with the aim of better un…
The stellar population histories of early-type galaxies. III. The Coma Cluster
S. C. Trager, S. M. Faber, Alan Dressler
We present stellar population parameters of twelve early-type galaxies (ETGs) in the Coma Cluster based on spectra obtained using the Low Resolution Imaging Spectrograph on the Kec…
Observations of the Naked-Eye GRB 080319B: Implications of Nature's Brightest Explosion
J. S. Bloom, D. A. Perley, W. Li +18
The first gamma-ray burst (GRB) confirmed to be bright enough to be seen with the naked eye, GRB 080319B at redshift z = 0.937, allowed for exquisite follow-up observations across…
