Althea Moorhead: Research

Current projects:

  • The effects of MHD disk turbulence on our predictions of orbital element distributions for the extrasolar planets.

  • The likelihood that terrestrial planets exist in mean motion resonances with gas giants in extrasolar planetary systems. Such configurations are potentially detectable through transit timing variations.
