January 11 (4:00PM) in the 2nd Floor Conference Room in Dearborn Speaker: Richard Edgar (University of Rochester) “Giant Planet Migration” Most extra-solar planets are thought to have migrated to their present orbits via Type II migration (locking to a viscous disc). By comparison with Type I migration (differential Lindblad torques), this process has been little studied. I shall present results from the first systematic test of giant planet migration. |
