Journal ArticleDOI
Long-lived planetesimal discs
Kevin Heng,Scott Tremaine +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the survival of planetesimal discs over Gyr time-scales, using a unified approach that is applicable to all Keplerian discs of solid bodies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fitting Selected Random Planetary Systems to Titius–Bode Laws
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare the Bode's law with the fit of a simple planetary system generated by a random distribution of planetary orbital radii in log r between 0.2 and 50 AU, with masses and order identical to ours.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relaxation in a Fuzzy Dark Matter Halo.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that FDM can be analyzed quantitatively with the same tools used to analyze classical two-body relaxation in an $N$-body system, and can be described by treating the FDM fluctuations as quasiparticles, with effective mass of 10^7 M_\odot {(1\,\mathrm{kpc}/r)}^2{(10^{-22},\m_b)}^3$ in a galaxy with a constant circular speed of $200\,

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the Hubble Space Telescope kinematics for NGC1399, the central galaxy in Fornax, and find the best-fit model contains a black hole of 5.1 +-0.7 x 10^8 Msun (at a distance of 21.1 Mpc), a factor of over 2 below the correlation of black hole mass and velocity dispersion.
