Title: Tilted Planets: Exciting Exoplanetary Obliquities via Spin-Orbit Resonances Abstract: The obliquity of a planet, the tilt between its spin and orbital axes, reflects the evolutionary history of the planet. In our own Solar System, the 98 degree obliquity of Uranus is hypothesized to be the result of giant impacts during its formation, and the … Continue reading "CRA Seminar: Yubo Su (Princeton University)"

Title: Black hole mergers in AGN disks and Few-body code SpaceHub Abstract: Active galactic nucleus (AGN) disks may be important sites for stellar mass binary black hole (BBH) mergers, but the detailed processes that lead to a BBH merger in an AGN disk are not yet well-constrained. Binary formation in AGN disks could be extremely … Continue reading "CRA Seminar: Yihan Wang (Nevada Center for Astrophysics)"
