A Chemical Modeling Roadmap Linking Protoplanetary Disks and Exoplanet Atmospheres [PDF]
ACS Earth and Space Chemistry, 2022 Exoplanet atmospheres and protoplanetary disk chemistry are both active fields of research. Chronologically, they represent opposite ends of the process of planet formation: planets form in protoplanetary disks, and the composition of planets and their ...

The Mass Budgets and Spatial Scales of Exoplanet Systems and Protoplanetary Disks [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2021 Planets are born from disks of gas and dust, and observations of protoplanetary disks are used to constrain the initial conditions of planet formation.

A Stellar Mass Dependence of Structured Disks: A Possible Link with Exoplanet Demographics [PDF]
, 2021 Gaps in protoplanetary disks have long been hailed as signposts of planet formation. However, a direct link between exoplanets and disks remains hard to identify.

The ARCiS framework for Exoplanet Atmospheres: The Cloud Transport Model [PDF]
, 2019 Understanding of clouds is instrumental in interpreting current and future spectroscopic observations of exoplanets. Modelling clouds consistently is complex, since it involves many facets of chemistry, nucleation theory, condensation physics ...

Aerosols in Exoplanet Atmospheres [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2021 Observations of exoplanet atmospheres have shown that aerosols, like in the solar system, are common across a variety of temperatures and planet types. The formation and distribution of these aerosols are inextricably intertwined with the composition and

Measuring Elemental Abundances of JWST Target Stars for Exoplanet Characterization. I. FGK Stars [PDF]
Astronomical Journal, 2021 With the launch of the JWST, we will obtain more precise data for exoplanets than ever before. However, these data can only inform and revolutionize our understanding of exoplanets when placed in the larger context of planet–star formation.

THE FORMATION OF URANUS AND NEPTUNE: CHALLENGES AND IMPLICATIONS FOR INTERMEDIATE-MASS EXOPLANETS [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2014 In this paper we investigate the formation of Uranus and Neptune, according to the core-nucleated accretion model, considering formation locations ranging from 12 to 30 AU from the Sun, and with various disk solid-surface densities and core accretion rates.
