Multiverse Predictions for Habitability: Number of Potentially Habitable Planets

Universe, 2019
How good is our universe at making habitable planets? The answer to this depends on which factors are important for life: Does a planet need to be Earth mass? Does it need to be inside the temperate zone? are systems with hot Jupiters habitable? Here, we

The Five Planets in the Kepler-296 Binary System All Orbit the Primary: A Statistical and Analytical Analysis [PDF]

, 2015
Kepler-296 is a binary star system with two M-dwarf components separated by 0.2 arcsec. Five transiting planets have been confirmed to be associated with the Kepler-296 system; given the evidence to date, however, the planets could in principle orbit ...

Eccentricity Evolution of Extrasolar Multiple Planetary Systems due to the Depletion of Nascent Protostellar Disks

, 2002
Most extrasolar planets are observed to have eccentricities much larger than those in the solar system. Some of these planets have sibling planets, with comparable masses, orbiting around the same host stars.

Metallicity of solar-type stars with debris discs and planets [PDF]

, 2012
Around 16% of the solar-like stars in our neighbourhood show IR-excesses due to debris discs and a fraction of them are known to host planets. We aim to determine in a homogeneous way the metallicity of a sample of stars with known debris discs and ...

Effects of Dynamical Evolution of Giant Planets on Survival of Terrestrial Planets

, 2013
The orbital distributions of currently observed extrasolar giant planets allow marginally stable orbits for hypothetical, terrestrial planets. In this paper, we propose that many of these systems may not have additional planets on these "stable" orbits ...

Origins of Eccentric Extrasolar Planets: Testing the Planet‐Planet Scattering Model [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2008
(Abridged) In planetary systems with two or more giant planets, dynamical instabilities can lead to collisions or ejections through strong planet--planet scattering. Previous studies for simple initial configurations with two equal-mass planets revealed some discrepancies between the results of numerical simulations and the observed orbital elements of

An Objective Classification Scheme for Solar-System Bodies Based on Surface Gravity

Galaxies
We introduce succinct and objective definitions of the various classes of objects in the solar system. Unlike the formal definitions adopted by the International Astronomical Union in 2006, group separation is obtained from measured physical properties ...

On the Survivability and Metamorphism of Tidally Disrupted Giant Planets: the Role of Dense Cores

, 2012
A large population of planetary candidates in short-period orbits have been found through transit searches. Radial velocity surveys have also revealed several Jupiter-mass planets with highly eccentric orbits.
