About
Jack J. Lissauer is a leading figure in planetary sciences, renowned for his foundational contributions to the theory of planet formation, orbital dynamics, and the architecture of exoplanetary systems. His research spans the origins of planetary systems, the dynamics of planetary rings, and the detection and characterization of exoplanets. Lissauer’s seminal work on planetesimal accretion and the core accretion model for gas giant formation has shaped our understanding of how planets emerge from protoplanetary disks. He is also celebrated for his co-authorship of the widely used textbook *Planetary Sciences*, which has educated a generation of researchers. Among his highly cited publications is the discovery and analysis of "A Pair of Warm Giant Planets near the 2:1 Mean Motion Resonance around the K-dwarf Star TOI-2202," a study that exemplifies his expertise in identifying resonant planetary systems using TESS data. With over 30,000 citations and an h-index exceeding 80, Lissauer’s impact is profound. He is a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union and has been honored with the Harold C. Urey Prize from the American Astronomical Society, cementing his legacy as a pioneer in planetary science.
