Rings beyond the giant planets
Bruno Sicardy, Maryame El Moutamid, Alice C. Quillen +3
Until 2013, only the giant planets were known to host ring systems. In June 2013, a stellar occulation revealed the presence of narrow and dense rings around Chariklo, a small Cent…
Tidal spin down rates of homogeneous triaxial viscoelastic bodies
Alice C. Quillen, Andrea Kueter-Young, Julien Frouard +1
We use numerical simulations to measure the sensitivity of the tidal spin down rate of a homogeneous triaxial ellipsoid to its axis ratios by comparing the drift rate in orbital se…
A coin vibrational motor swimming at low Reynolds number
Alice C. Quillen, Hesam Askari, Douglas H. Kelley +2
Low-cost coin vibrational motors, used in haptic feedback, exhibit rotational internal motion inside a rigid case. Because the motor case motion exhibits rotational symmetry, when…
Dippers and Dusty Disks Edges: A Unified Model
Eva H. L. Bodman, Alice C. Quillen, Megan Ansdell +6
We revisit the nature of large dips in flux from extinction by dusty circumstellar material that is observed by Kepler for many young stars in the Upper Sco and Oph star format…
Hot planetary winds near a star: dynamics, wind-wind interactions, and observational signatures
Jonathan Carroll-Nellenback, Adam Frank, Baowei Liu +3
Signatures of "evaporative" winds from exo-planets on short (hot) orbits around their host star have been observed in a number of systems. In this paper we present global AMR simul…
Numerical Simulation of Tidal Evolution of a Viscoelastic Body Modelled with a Mass-Spring Network
Julien Frouard, Alice C. Quillen, Michael Efroimsky +1
We use a damped mass-spring model within an N-body code to simulate the tidal evolution of the spin and orbit of a self-gravitating viscoelastic spherical body moving around a poin…
Galactoseismology: Discovery of a cluster of receding, variable halo stars
Sukanya Chakrabarti, Rodolfo Angeloni, Kenneth Freeman +13
A dynamical characterization of dark matter dominated dwarf galaxies from their observed effects on galactic disks (i.e. Galactoseismology) has remained an elusive goal. Here, we p…
Identification of Globular Cluster Stars in RAVE data II: Extended tidal debris around NGC 3201
B. Anguiano, G. M. De Silva, K. Freeman +22
We report the identification of extended tidal debris potentially associated with the globular cluster NGC 3201, using the RAVE catalogue. We find the debris stars are located at a…
