Journal ArticleDOI
Tidal disruption of inviscid planetesimals
TL;DR: In this article, the smooth particle hydrodynamics (SPH) code of Cameron and Benz (1991) was used to simulate the impact of 0.01 earth-mass planetesimals passing by the earth with variations in the impact parameter at perigee and velocity at infinity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Supernova-triggered molecular cloud core collapse and the rayleigh-taylor fingers that polluted the solar nebula
Alan P. Boss,Sandra A. Keiser +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the FLASH adaptive mesh refinement hydrodynamics code to calculate the first fully three-dimensional (3D) models of the triggering and injection process.
Journal ArticleDOI
A keck hires doppler search for planets orbiting metal-poor dwarfs. i. testing giant planet formation and migration scenarios
Alessandro Sozzetti,Alessandro Sozzetti,Guillermo Torres,David W. Latham,Bruce W. Carney,Robert P. Stefanik,Alan P. Boss,John B. Laird,Sylvain G. Korzennik +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a high-precision Doppler search for giant planets orbiting a well-defined sample of metal-poor dwarfs in the field is described, which constitutes a fundamental test of theoretical predictions, which will help discriminate between proposed giant planetformationand migrationmodels.
Book
The astrophysics of planetary systems : formation, structure, and dynamical evolution : proceedings of the 276th Symposium of the International Astronomical Union, held in Torino, Italy, October 10-15, 2010
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the next decade in the field of Planet Formation, Structure and Atmospheres, Interactions, and the Next Decade Part V. Poster Papers.
Journal ArticleDOI
New Parallaxes and a Convergence Analysis for the TW Hya Association
Jessica K. Donaldson,Alycia J. Weinberger,Jonathan Gagné,Jacqueline K. Faherty,Jacqueline K. Faherty,Alan P. Boss,Sandra A. Keiser +6 more
TL;DR: The TW Hya Association (TWA) is a nearby stellar association with an age of 5-10 Myr as mentioned in this paper, which is an important age for studying the late stages of star and planet formation.
