| | Planets: Contribute to our understanding of planet formation and evolution
with the tools of Astronomy, Geophysics, and Dynamics.
Current projects include the discovery, characterization,
and theoretical understanding of solar system binaries; the study of
asteroid shapes, spins, and orbits; and the study of planetary interior
structure and processes using gravity and rotation data. |
