{{distinguish|Konstantin Badygin}}Konstantin Batygin ({{lang-ru|Константи́н Юрьевич Батыгин}}) is a Russian-American astronomer and Assistant Professor of Planetary Sciences at Caltech.[1] He is on the 2015 Forbes list of 30 scientists under 30 who are changing the world,[2] and has been named one of the "brilliant 10" people of 2016 by Popular Science magazine.[3]

Early life

Konstantin Batygin was born in Moscow, Soviet Union.[4] His father, Yuri Konstantinovich Batygin, worked as an accelerator physicist in the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute until 1994, when he moved along with his wife Galina[5] and their family to Wakō, Japan, and began working at the particle accelerator facility in RIKEN.[4] There, Konstantin graduated from a public Japanese elementary school, later on attending a Russian embassy-based school and studying the martial art Gōjū-ryū.[4]

In late 1999, at age 13,[2] Konstantin Batygin moved to Morgan Hill, California[6] along with his family. Upon graduating from Santa Teresa Highschool,[7] he chose to attend the University of California, Santa Cruz for the beach and the chance to keep playing in his rock band, The Seventh Season.[4][8] During his sophomore year as an undergraduate at the university, he met Gregory P. Laughlin at a departmental party, and afterwards they began working together on the Solar System’s long-term dynamical evolution.[4] In June 2008, he graduated from UCSC with a bachelor's degree in astrophysics,[6] and won the Loren Steck Award for his thesis, "The Dynamical Stability of the Solar System".[5] Batygin subsequently went on to pursue graduate studies at Caltech, obtaining a Ph.D. in Planetary Science in 2012.

Career

Konstantin Batygin's research is primarily aimed at understanding the formation and evolution of planetary systems. In 2010, Konstantin Batygin and David J. Stevenson published a calculation,[9] which showed that hot Jupiters can become inflated as a consequence of Ohmic dissipation of electrical currents induced through an interaction between ionized atmospheric winds and the planetary magnetic field. In 2012, Batygin demonstrated that misalignments between stellar spin-axes and planetary orbits can arise from gravitational perturbations exerted onto protoplanetary disks by primordial companions stars.[10][11] In 2015, Batygin and Laughlin hypothesized that the Solar System once possessed a population of short-period planets that were destroyed by Jupiter's migration through the solar nebula.[12] In January 2016, Konstantin Batygin and Michael E. Brown proposed the existence of a ninth planet in the Solar System.[8] In 2018, Batygin showed that the evolution of astrophysical disks can be modeled with the Schrödinger equation, a fundamental equation in quantum mechanics.[13]
