Eccentric Behavior of Eccentric Planets
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent increases in the discovery of high multiplicity Sub-Jovian planetary systems, in addition to discoveries of giant planets of high eccentricities in these multiple body systems, lead to questions into their origins and evolution. The study of secular interactions is not new, however it has only recently been applied to exoplanetary systems. These systems sometimes fall far from the classical, solar system approach, of low eccentricities and low inclinations. Here I investigate a system of two Jupiter-mass planets and a test particle around a Sun-like star to examine if the classical secular perturbation model still applies when examining a system with high perturber eccentricities. Additionally, I compare this model to the Kepler-11 system of six bodies to simulate the evolution of this system after introducing two Jupiter-sized planets into the Kepler-11 system.

Type Ii Migration of Planets on Eccentric Orbits
The observed extrasolar planets possess both large masses (with a median M sin i of 1.65 MJ) and a wide range in orbital eccentricity (0 < e < 0.94). As planets are thought to form in circumstellar disks, one important question in planet formation is determining whether, and to what degree, a gaseous disk affects an eccentric planet’s orbit. Recent studies have probed the interaction between a ...
متن کاملEccentric Connectivity Index: Extremal Graphs and Values
Eccentric connectivity index has been found to have a low degeneracy and hence a significant potential of predicting biological activity of certain classes of chemical compounds. We present here explicit formulas for eccentric connectivity index of various families of graphs. We also show that the eccentric connectivity index grows at most polynomially with the number of vertices and determine ...
متن کاملExperimental Study of Reinforced Concrete Frame Rehabilitated by Concentric and Eccentric Bracing
Adding steel braces to reinforced concrete frames is a common way for seismic rehabilitation of these structures. Due to ease of installation and the possibility of creating openings in the braced bays, this method of rehabilitation has been more preferred than using shear walls. In this paper, three experimental specimens including a reinforced concrete frame, a reinforced concrete frame with ...
متن کاملThe Open University ’ s repository of research publications and other research outputs Can eccentric debris disks be long - lived ? A first
Context. Imaging of debris disks has found evidence for both eccentric and offset disks. One hypothesis is that these provide evidence for massive perturbers, for example planets or binary companions, that sculpt the observed structures. One such disk was recently observed in the far-IR by the Herschel Space Observatory around ζ2 Reticuli. In contrast with previously reported systems, the disk ...
متن کاملInfluence of massive planet scattering on nascent terrestrial planets
In most extrasolar planetary systems, the present orbits of known giant planets admit the existence of stable terrestrial planets. Those same giant planets, however, have typically eccentric orbits that hint at violent early dynamics less benign for low mass planet formation. Under the assumption that massive planet eccentricities are the end point of gravitational scattering in multiple planet...
متن کاملDetectability of Extrasolar Planets in Radial Velocity Surveys
Radial velocity surveys are beginning to reach the time baselines required to detect Jupiter analogs, as well as sub-Saturn mass planets in close orbits. Therefore it is important to understand the sensitivity of these surveys at long periods and low amplitudes. In this paper, I derive analytic expressions for the detectability of planets at both short and long periods, for circular and eccentr...
