Searching for Unseen Planets via Occultation and Microlensing
The fields of occultation and microlensing are linked historically. Early this century, occultation of the Sun by the Moon allowed the apparent positions of background stars projected near the limb of the Sun to be measured and compared with their positions six months later when the Sun no longer influenced the light path to Earth. The measured shift in the stellar positions was consistent with...
متن کاملUsing Ice and Dust Lines to Constrain the Surface Densities of Protoplanetary Disks
We present a novel method for determining the surface density of protoplanetary disks through consideration of disk ‘dust lines’ which indicate the observed disk radial scale at different observational wavelengths. This method relies on the assumption that the processes of particle growth and drift control the radial scale of the disk at late stages of disk evolution such that the lifetime of t...
متن کاملMigration of small bodies and dust to the terrestrial planets
We integrated the orbital evolution of 30,000 Jupiter-family comets, 1300 resonant asteroids, and 7000 asteroidal, trans-Neptunian, and cometary dust particles. For initial orbital elements of bodies close to those of Comets 2P, 10P, 44P, and 113P, a few objects got Earthcrossing orbits with semi-major axes a<2 AU and moved in such orbits for more than 1 Myr (up to tens or even hundreds of Myrs...
متن کاملThe Association of Dust Disks and Planets
We propose to continue a successful search for planetary-mass companions to stars younger than the Sun. Planet searches to date typically have targetted older stars which are expected to have lower photospheric activity. Recent work, however, has demonstrated that it is possible to monitor activity-induced “velocity jitter” via the Ca II H&K emission lines and specific absorption line profiles,...
متن کاملDust accretion onto high-mass planets
Aims. We study the accretion of dust particles of various sizes onto embedded massive gas giant planets, where we take into account the structure of the gas disk due to the presence of the planet. The accretion rate of solids is important for the structure of giant planets: it determines the growth rate of the solid core that may be present as well as their final enrichment in solids. Methods. ...
