The Long-Baseline Neutrino Experiment: Exploring Fundamental Symmetries of the Universe

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vagins | First 5 Authors: LBNE Collaboration, Corey Adams, David Adams, Tarek Akiri, Tyler Alion | Summary: The preponderance of matter over antimatter in the early Universe, the dynamics of the supernova bursts that produced the heavy elements necessary for life and whether protons eventually decay — these mysteries at the forefront […]

The Roche limit for close-orbiting planets: Minimum density, composition constraints, and application to the 4.2-hour planet KOI 1843.03

Kavli Affiliate: Alan Levine | First 5 Authors: Saul Rappaport, Roberto Sanchis-Ojeda, Leslie A. Rogers, Alan Levine, Joshua N. Winn | Summary: The requirement that a planet must orbit outside of its Roche limit gives a lower limit on the planet’s mean density. The minimum density depends almost entirely on the orbital period and is […]
