Atmospheric signatures of giant exoplanet formation by pebble accretion [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2016
Atmospheric chemical abundances of giant planets lead to important constraints on planetary formation and migration. Studies have shown that giant planets that migrate through the protoplanetary disk can accrete substantial amounts of oxygen-rich ...

Characterization of exoplanets from their formation [PDF]

open access: bronzeAstronomy and Astrophysics, 2012
A first characterization of many exoplanets has recently been achieved by the observational determination of their radius. For some planets, a measurement of the luminosity has also been possible, with many more directly imaged planets expected in the future.

Understanding exoplanet formation, structure and evolution in 2010 [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2010
In this short review, we summarize our present understanding (and non-understanding) of exoplanet formation, structure and evolution, in the light of the most recent discoveries.

C/O Ratios and the Formation of Wide-separation Exoplanets [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
The gas and solid-state C/O ratios provide context to potentially link the atmospheric composition of planets to that of the natal disk. We provide a synthesis of extant estimates of the gaseous C/O and C/H ratios in planet-forming disks obtained ...

On the Local Formation of the TRAPPIST-1 Exoplanets [PDF]

open access: goldThe Astronomical Journal
Abstract The discovery of seven approximately Earth-mass planets orbiting the 0.09 M ⊙ M dwarf TRAPPIST-1 captivated the public and sparked a proliferation of investigations into the system’s origins. Among other properties, the resonant architecture of the planets has been interpreted to imply that orbital migration ...

Planet formation – implication of statistical properties of exoplanets [PDF]

open access: diamondJournal of Physics: Conference Series, 2010
Models of planetary formation are developed based on the observation of our Solar System, star-forming regions and circumstellar disks and on an the ever increasing number of exoplanetary systems. The solar nebula theory and the planetesimal hypothesis are discussed.
