Research Interests and achievement

(A) The Drag-Induced Resonant Capture in Planetary Systems
We investigated the effect of proto-stellar discs on the resonance capture. Our results show that the gaseous drag of a proto-stellar disc can trap small bodies into the 3:2 resonance rather easily.

(B) The Tidal Interaction of Close-In Planets
It has been shown that there is a possible mass-period correlation for extrasolar planets from the current observational data and this correlation is, in fact, related to the absence of massive close-in planets, which are strongly influenced by the tidal interaction with the central star. We determine the minimum possible semimajor axis for these planets to be detected during their lifetime and also study their migration time scale at different semimajor axes by the calculations of tidal interaction.

(C) The Brown Dwarf Formation
Jiang et al. (2003) propose that brown dwarfs are formed in the circumbinary disks.Through post-formation dynamical interaction with their host binary stars,young brown dwarfs are either scattered to large distance or removed, with modest speed, from their cradles.

(D) Galactic Satellite Dynamics:
In Jiang & Binney (2000), possible orbital histories of the Sgr dwarf galaxy are explored. We found that the friction from the dark matter plays an important role.

(E) Galactic Structure
In Jiang & Binney (1999), N-body simulations show that when infall reorientates the outer parts of a galactic halo by several degrees per Gyr, a self-gravitating disk that is embedded in the halo develops an integral-sign warp that is comparable in amplitude to observed warps. Studies of angular-momentum acquisition suggest that the required rate of halo reorientation is realistic for galaxies like the Milky Way.
