The formation of planetary systems [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2004
In an embedded cluster, with high stellar densities, interactions can occur between stars and either newly formed diffuse protostars or high-density regions produced by the collision of turbulent elements. It is shown by smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) modelling that interactions can occur in which the complete protostar, or high-density region ...

Planetary formation in the Gamma-Cephei system [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2004
We numerically investigate under which conditions the planet detected at 2.1 AU of Gamma-Cephei could form through the core-accretion scenario despite the perturbing presence of the highly eccentric companion star. We first show that the initial stage of runaway accretion of kilometer-sized planetesimals is possible within 2.5 AU from the central star ...

Low-cost, multi-agent systems for planetary surface exploration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The use of off-the-shelf consumer electronics combined with top-down design methodologies have made small and inexpensive satellites, such as CubeSats, emerge as viable, low-cost and attractive space-based platforms that enable a range of new and ...

Apophis planetary defense campaign [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
We describe results of a planetary defense exercise conducted during the close approach to Earth by the near-Earth asteroid (99942) Apophis during 2020 December–2021 March. The planetary defense community has been conducting observational campaigns since

On the formation age of the first planetary system [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2007
AbstractRecently, it has been observed the extreme metal-poor stars in the Galactic halo, which must be formed just after Pop III objects. On the other hand, the first gas clouds of mass ∼ 106 M⊙ are supposed to be formed at z ∼ 10, 20, and 30 for the 1σ, 2σ and 3σ, where the density perturbations are assumed of the standard ΛCDM cosmology.

Architectures of planetary systems and implications for their formation [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014
Significance Prior to the discovery of exoplanets, astronomers fine tuned theories of planet formation to explain detailed properties of the solar system. The discovery of exoplanets has significantly increased our appreciation for the diversity of planetary systems in nature. In this article we review the current understanding of the

The McDonald Accelerating Stars Survey: Architecture of the Ancient Five-planet Host System Kepler-444

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
We present the latest and most precise characterization of the architecture for the ancient (≈11 Gyr) Kepler-444 system, which is composed of a K0 primary star (Kepler-444 A) hosting five transiting planets and a tight M-type spectroscopic binary (Kepler-

Planetary population synthesis and the emergence of four classes of planetary system architectures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Planetary population synthesis is a helpful tool to understand the physics of planetary system formation. It builds on a global model, meaning that the model has to include a multitude of physical processes. The outcome can be statistically compared with
