The distribution of volatile elements during rocky planet formation [PDF]
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 Core segregation and atmosphere formation are two of the major processes that redistribute the volatile elements—hydrogen (H), carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and sulfur (S)—in and around rocky planets during their formation.

Planet Formation around Low-Mass Stars: The Moving Snow Line and Super-Earths [PDF]
, 2006 We develop a semi-analytic model for planet formation during the pre-main sequence contraction phase of a low mass star. During this evolution, the stellar magnetosphere maintains a fixed ratio between the inner disk radius and the stellar radius. As the

Sculpting the valley in the radius distribution of small exoplanets as a by-product of planet formation: the core-powered mass-loss mechanism. [PDF]
Mon Not R Astron Soc, 2019 Recent observations revealed a bimodal radius distribution of small, short-period exoplanets with a paucity in their occurrence, a radius 'valley', around 1.5-2.0 R⊕.

Dawes Review 7: The Tidal Downsizing Hypothesis of Planet Formation [PDF]
Publications Astronomical Society of Australia, 2017 Tidal Downsizing scenario of planet formation builds on ideas proposed by Gerard Kuiper in 1951. Detailed simulations of self-gravitating discs, gas fragments, dust grain dynamics, and planet evolutionary calculations are summarised here and used to ...

Interpreting the Atmospheric Composition of Exoplanets: Sensitivity to Planet Formation Assumptions [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2022 Constraining planet formation based on the atmospheric composition of exoplanets is a fundamental goal of the exoplanet community. Existing studies commonly try to constrain atmospheric abundances, or to analyze what abundance patterns a given ...

Efficient planet formation by pebble accretion in ALMA rings [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2022 In the past decade, ALMA observations have revealed that a large fraction of protoplanetary discs contains rings in the dust continuum. These rings are the locations where pebbles accumulate, which is beneficial for planetesimal formation and ...
