Runaway Growth of Planetesimals Revisited: Presenting Criteria Required for Realistic Modeling of Planetesimal Growth
Nader Haghighipour, Luciano A. Darriba
We have initiated a large project on identifying the requirements for developing a realistic and ground-up approach to simulating the formation of terrestrial planets in our solar…
Secular Resonances in Planet-Hosting Binary Stars. II. Application to Terrestrial Planet Formation
Nader Haghighipour, Michael Andrews
Continuing our study of the effects of secular resonances on the formation of terrestrial planets in moderately close binary stars, we present here the results of an extensive nume…
Secular Resonances in Planet-Hosting Binary Stars. I. General Theory
Nader Haghighipour, Michael Andrew
Motivated by the diversity of circumstellar planets in binary stars and the strong effects of the secular resonances of Jupiter and Saturn on the formation and architecture of the…
Detailed Calculations of the Efficiency of Planetesimal Accretion in the Core-Accretion Model -III: The Contribution of Planetesimals Beyond Saturn
Nader Haghighipour, Morris Podolak, Esther Podolak
Continuing our initiative on advancing the calculations of planetesimal accretion in the core-accretion model, we present here the results of our recent study of the contributions…
