Terrestrial planet formation. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2011 Advances in our understanding of terrestrial planet formation have come from a multidisciplinary approach. Studies of the ages and compositions of primitive meteorites with compositions similar to the Sun have helped to constrain the nature of the building blocks of planets.

, 2021 Our galaxy is full with planets. We now know that planets and planetary systems are diverse and come with different sizes, masses and compositions, as well as various orbital architectures. Although there has been great progress in understanding planet formation in the last couple of decades, both observationally and theoretically, several fundamental ...

Challenges in planet formation [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2016 AbstractOver the past two decades, large strides have been made in the field of planet formation. Yet fundamental questions remain. Here we review our state of understanding of five fundamental bottlenecks in planet formation. These are the following: (1) the structure and evolution of protoplanetary disks; (2) the growth of the first planetesimals; (3)

Planet formation and migration [PDF]
Reports on Progress in Physics, 2005 We review the observations of extrasolar planets, ongoing developments in theories of planet formation, orbital migration, and the evolution of multiplanet systems.

Formation of Terrestrial Planets [PDF]
, 2018 The past decade has seen major progress in our understanding of terrestrial planet formation. Yet key questions remain. In this review we first address the growth of 100 km-scale planetesimals as a consequence of dust coagulation and concentration, with current models favoring the streaming instability.

Radioactive Planet Formation [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2021 Abstract Young stellar objects are observed to have large X-ray fluxes and are thought to produce commensurate luminosities in energetic particles (cosmic rays). This particle radiation, in turn, can synthesize short-lived radioactive nuclei through spallation.

Formation of Giant Planets [PDF]
, 2018 Giant planets are tens to thousands of times as massive as the Earth, and many times as large. Most of their volumes are occupied by hydrogen and helium, the primary constituents of the protostellar disks from which they formed. Significantly, the solar system giants are also highly enriched in heavier elements relative to the Sun, indicating that ...

Formation of the Planets [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1981 A timetable for an evolutionary sequence of processes, which begins with the formation of the solar nebula being nearly in equilibrium and ends with the planetary formation, is presented. Basic features of the processes and grounds for the estimation of time-scales are explained for each of the processes.
