Detectability of the Yarkovsky Effect in the Main Belt
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 We attempt to detect a signal of Yarkovsky-related acceleration in the orbits of 134 main belt asteroids (MBAs) we observed with the University of Hawai’i 88 inch telescope, supplemented with observations publicly available from the Minor Planet Center ...

The unexpected narrowness of eccentric debris rings: a sign of eccentricity during the protoplanetary disc phase [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 This paper shows that the eccentric debris rings seen around the stars Fomalhaut and HD 202628 are narrower than expected in the standard eccentric planet perturbation scenario (sometimes referred to as ‘pericentre glow’). The standard scenario posits an

Viscous avalanches on a spherical minor planet [PDF]
EPJ Web of ConferencesGranular avalanches influence the surface evolution of small celestial bodies such as asteroids and moons. Understanding their dynamics is crucial for interpreting surface features observed by space missions. We adapt a depth-averaged shallow water model

Two drastically different climate states on an Earth-like terra-planet [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2018 We study an Earth-like terra-planet (water-limited terrestrial planet) with an overland recycling mechanism bringing fresh water back from the high latitudes to the low latitudes.
