In the Dark

It’s a rainy Saturday afternoon here in Sydney, and here’s the last update from the Open Journal of Astrophysics before I change time zones. In fact there is only one paper to report this week, being  the 16th paper in Volume 7 (2024)  and the 131st altogether. It was published on February 29th 2024.

The title is “Bound circumplanetary orbits under the influence of radiation pressure: Application to dust in directly imaged exoplanet systems” and it  is in the folder marked Earth and Planetary Astrophysics. It presents an investigation into the effect of radiation pressure on bound orbits, with applications to the behaviour of dust in exoplanet systems in general and to the Fomalhaut system in particular. The authors are Bradley Hansen of UCLA and Kevin Hayakawa of California State University (both in the USA).

Here is the overlay of the paper containing the abstract:

There are quite a few papers in the pipeline which I expect to be published during the next week or soon after.
