angular momentum transfer between the disk and the binary, and the secular evolution of …

Stellar obliquities in exoplanetary systems

SH Albrecht, RI Dawson, JN Winn - Publications of the …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
The rotation of a star and the revolutions of its planets are not necessarily aligned. This
article reviews the measurement techniques, key findings, and theoretical interpretations …

The occurrence and architecture of exoplanetary systems

JN Winn, DC Fabrycky - Annual Review of Astronomy and …, 2015 - annualreviews.org

planetary orbits—has long been a subject of fascination as well as inspiration for planet …

Gravitational instabilities in circumstellar disks

K Kratter, G Lodato - Annual Review of Astronomy and …, 2016 - annualreviews.org
Star and planet formation are the complex outcomes of gravitational collapse and angular
momentum transport mediated by protostellar and protoplanetary disks. In this review, we …

On the diversity and statistical properties of protostellar discs

MR Bate - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018 - academic.oup.com
We present results from the first population synthesis study of protostellar discs. We analyse
the evolution and properties of a large sample of protostellar discs formed in a radiation …

indicating substantial clearing of their dust content by a massive companion. For several …

Obliquities of hot Jupiter host stars: Evidence for tidal interactions and primordial misalignments

S Albrecht, JN Winn, JA Johnson… - The Astrophysical …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
We provide evidence that the obliquities of stars with close-in giant planets were initially
nearly random, and that the low obliquities that are often observed are a consequence of …

The planet nine hypothesis

K Batygin, FC Adams, ME Brown, JC Becker - Physics Reports, 2019 - Elsevier
Over the course of the past two decades, observational surveys have unveiled the intricate
orbital structure of the Kuiper Belt, a field of icy bodies orbiting the Sun beyond Neptune. In …
