Planetesimal 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 کاملThree-body capture of irregular satellites: Application to Jupiter
We investigate a new theory of the origin of the irregular satellites of the giant planets: capture of one member of a ∼100-km binary asteroid after tidal disruption. The energy loss from disruption is sufficient for capture, but it cannot deliver the bodies directly to the observed orbits of the irregular satellites. Instead, the long-lived capture orbits subsequently evolve inward due to inte...
متن کاملThree-Body Capture of Jupiter’s Irregular Satellites and Resonant History of the Galilean Satellites
Title of Dissertation: Three-Body Capture of Jupiter’s Irregular Satellites and Resonant History of the Galilean Satellites Catherine M. Philpott, Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Dissertation directed by: Professor Douglas P. Hamilton Department of Astronomy We examine the capture of small, irregular satellites, which, with their distant, eccentric, and inclined paths, must have originated in helioc...
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 کاملAsteroid Capture Using a Binary Exchange Mechanism
A new method of capturing an asteroid in an orbit around the Earth is proposed, inspired by the theory that the irregular satellites of Jupiter and Neptune may have at one time been members of a binary asteroid. After a close approach with the planet, the binary asteroid was disrupted, and one member was captured into a permanent orbit. A parametric study was conducted by simulating binary-Eart...
