The link between infall location, early disc size, and the fraction of self-gravitationally fragmenting discs [PDF]
, 2023 Context. Many protoplanetary discs are self-gravitating early in their lives. If they fragment under their own gravity, they form bound gaseous clumps that can evolve to become giant planets.

Searching for gaseous giant planets around debris disks
, 2023 The past decades have clearly demonstrated that planet formation is an efficient process and that it can lead to a vast variety of planetary systems.

Extrasolar planet population synthesis. III. Formation of planets around stars of different masses
, 2009 Context. With the high number of extrasolar planets discovered by now, it has become possible to use the properties of this planetary population to constrain theoretical formation models in a statistical sense.

The role of planetary formation and evolution in shaping the composition of exoplanetary atmospheres [PDF]
, 2014 Over the last twenty years, the search for extrasolar planets has revealed the rich diversity of outcomes from the formation and evolution of planetary systems.

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 2, February 2025.ABSTRACT In our search for life beyond the Solar System, certain planetary bodies may be more conducive to life than Earth. However, the observability of these “superhabitable” (SH) planets in the habitable zones around K dwarf stars has not been fully modeled. This study addresses this gap by modeling the atmospheres of SH exoplanets.

On the interaction between embedded planets and the corotation region of protoplanetary discs [PDF]
, 2015 PhDDisc material in the corotation region librates with respect to low-mass planets on horseshoe trajectories. The exchange of angular momentum associated with this libration gives rise to the non-linear corotation torque (the horseshoe drag).

Giant Planet Formation by Gravitational Instability
, 1997 The recent discoveries of extrasolar giant planets, coupled with refined models of the compositions of Jupiter and Saturn, prompt a reexamination of theories of giant planet formation.

Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 5, Issue 1, December 2024.Abstract Standard notions of an “Earthlike” planet rely solely on physical and material properties, like planetary mass, radius, and surface temperature. Here, we introduce a novel, relational perspective on what defines “Earthlikeness.” In our process‐based framework, rocky planets are local pockets of free energy that have the potential to drive the ...

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, Volume 144, Issue 717, Page 2537-2557, October 2018 Part B., 2018 The regimes of global atmospheric circulation patterns in an Earth‐like atmosphere are explored as a function of rotation rate Ω, thermal contrast, and other parameters expressed in dimensionless form, using a simplified GCM based on the University of Hamburg's Portable University Model for the Atmosphere.

Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 The perturbation caused by planet‐moon binarity on the time‐of‐arrival (TOA) signal of a pulsar with an orbiting planet is derived for the case of the orbit of the planet‐moon system inclined of an angle α with respect to the plane of the orbit of the planet‐moon barycenter around the pulsar.
