A Framework for Quantifying the Degeneracies of Exoplanet Interior Compositions
Several transiting super-Earths are expected to be discovered in the coming few years. While tools to model the interior structure of transiting planets exist, inferences about the composition are fraught with ambiguities. We present a framework to quantify how much we can robustly infer about super-Earth and Neptune-size exoplanet interiors from radius and mass measurements. We introduce quate...
متن کاملPlanetesimal accretion in binary star systems
Numerical simulations of planetesimal accretion in circumprimary and circumbinary orbits are described. The secular perturbations by the companion star and gas drag are included in our models. We derive limits on the parameters of the binary system for which accretion and then planetary formation are possible. In the circumbinary case we also outline the radial distance from the baricenter of t...
متن کاملPlanetesimal Disk Evolution Driven by Planetesimal-planetesimal Gravitational Scattering
We investigate the process of an inhomogeneous planetesimal disk evolution caused by the planetesimal-planetesimal gravitational scattering. We develop a rather general approach based on the kinetic theory which self-consistently describes the evolution in time and space of both the disk surface density and its kinematic properties — dispersions of eccentricity and inclination. The gravitationa...
متن کاملPlanetesimal Accretion in Binary Systems: the Effects of Gas Dissipation
Currently, one of major problems concerning planet formation theory in close binary systems is, the strong perturbation from the companion star can increase relative velocities (△V ) of planetesimals around the primary and thus hinder their growth. According to previous studies, while gas drag can reduce the △V between bodies of the same sizes by forcing orbital alignment to planetesimals, it i...
متن کاملPlanetesimal disk evolution driven by embryo-planetesimal gravitational scattering
The process of gravitational scattering of planetesimals by a massive protoplanetary embryo is explored theoretically. We propose a method to describe the evolution of the disk surface density, eccentricity, and inclination caused by the embryoplanetesimal interaction. It relies on the analytical treatment of the scattering in two extreme regimes of the planetesimal epicyclic velocities: shear-...
