Merger of Black Holes in the Galactic Center
F. Elliott Koch, Bradley M. S. Hansen
We present the results of three body simulations focused on understanding the fates of intermediate mass black holes (IBH) that drift within the central 0.5 pc of the Galaxy. In pa…
Deep ACS Imaging in the Globular Cluster NGC6397: Dynamical Models
Jarrod R. Hurley, Michael M. Shara, Harvey B. Richer +8
We present N-body models to complement deep imaging of the metal-poor core-collapsed cluster NGC6397 obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope. All simulations include stellar and b…
On the Absorption and Redistribution of Energy in Irradiated Planets
Brad Hansen
We present a sequence of toy models for irradiated planet atmospheres, in which the effects of geometry and energy redistribution are modelled self-consistently. We use separate bu…
On Signatures of Atmospheric Features in Thermal Phase Curves of Hot Jupiters
Emily Rauscher, Kristen Menou, James Y-K. Cho +2
Turbulence is ubiquitous in Solar System planetary atmospheres. In hot Jupiter atmospheres, the combination of moderately slow rotation and thick pressure scale height may result i…
Hypervelocity A & B Stars should be slow rotators
Brad Hansen
The most commonly accepted explanation for the origin of hypervelocity stars in the halo of the Milky Way is that they are the result of tidal disruption of binaries by the massive…
The Chemical Composition of an Extrasolar Minor Planet
B. Zuckerman, D. Koester, C. Melis +2
We report the relative abundances of 17 elements in the atmosphere of the white dwarf star GD 362, material that, very probably, was contained previously in a large asteroid or ast…
