Toward an initial mass function for giant planets

open access: yes, 2017
The distribution of exoplanet masses is not primordial. After the initial stage of planet formation is complete, the gravitational interactions between planets can lead to the physical collision of two planets, or the ejection of one or more planets from

Organic Molecules in the Icy Bodies of Planetary Systems – Accepted Notions and New Ideas

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2018
Cometary bodies are acknowledged to contain some of the most pristine matter in the Solar System, including ices and minerals. Certain number of previously unidentified spectral emission features detected in comets can be explained as emission by ...

On High-Contrast Characterization of Nearby, Short-Period Exoplanets with Giant Segmented-Mirror Telescopes

open access: yes, 2013
Measurements of the frequency with which short-period planets occur around main sequence stars allows a direct prediction of the number and types of such planets that will be amenable to characterization by high-contrast instruments on future giant ...

Properties of Free-floating Planets Ejected through Planet–Planet Scattering

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Abstract Multiple studies show that planet–planet scattering plays a key role in the dynamical evolution of planetary systems. It can also contribute to the census of free-floating planets. In this work, we run an ensemble of N-body simulations and record the properties of ejected planets.

Semi-Empirical Estimates of the Cosmic Planet Formation Rate

open access: yesGalaxies
We devise and exploit a data-driven, semi-empirical framework of galaxy formation and evolution, coupling it to recipes for planet formation from stellar and planetary science, to compute the cosmic planet formation rate, and the properties of the ...

Reading the Stars of the Renaissance. Fritz Saxl and Astrology [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Art Historiography, 2011
This article discusses Fritz Saxl’s publications on astrological images from the western Middle Ages and Renaissance, from his early study on the representation of the planets (1912), via his catalogues of astrological and mythological manuscripts (1915 ...

Survival Rates of Planets in Open Clusters: the Pleiades, Hyades, and Praesepe clusters

open access: yes, 2019
In clustered environments, stellar encounters can liberate planets from their host stars via close encounters. Although the detection probability of planets suggests that the planet population in open clusters resembles that in the field, only a few ...

On the Love Numbers of an Andrade Planet

open access: yesEarth and Space Science
The Andrade rheological model is often employed to describe the response of solar system or extra‐solar planets to tidal perturbations, especially when their properties are still poorly constrained.

The I-Love Universal Relation for Polytropic Stars Under Newtonian Gravity

open access: yesGalaxies
The moment of inertia and tidal deformability of idealized stars with polytropic equations of state (EOSs) are numerically calculated under both Newtonian gravity and general relativity (GR).
