Exploring the link between star and planet formation with Ariel. [PDF]
Exp Astron (Dordr), 2022 The goal of the Ariel space mission is to observe a large and diversified population of transiting planets around a range of host star types to collect information on their atmospheric composition. The planetary bulk and atmospheric compositions bear the

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.

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⊕.

Formation of terrestrial planet cores inside giant planet embryos [PDF]
, 2011 Giant planet embryos are believed to be spawned by gravitational instability in massive extended (R ~ 100 AU) protostellar discs. In a recent paper we have shown that dust can sediment inside the embryos, as argued earlier by Boss (1998) in a slightly ...

Connecting planet formation and astrochemistry: C/Os and N/Os of warm giant planets and Jupiter analogues [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2020 The chemical composition of planetary atmospheres has long been thought to store information regarding where and when a planet accretes its material. Predicting this chemical composition theoretically is a crucial step in linking observational studies to

Constraining planet formation around 6–8 M⊙ stars [PDF]
, 2020 Identifying planets around O-type and B-type stars is inherently difficult; the most massive known planet host has a mass of only about 3M⊙. However, planetary systems which survive the transformation of their host stars into white dwarfs can be detected

Pebble-driven planet formation for TRAPPIST-1 and other compact systems [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2019 Recently, seven Earth-sized planets were discovered around the M-dwarf star TRAPPIST-1. Thanks to transit-timing variations, the masses and therefore the bulk densities of the planets have been constrained, suggesting that all TRAPPIST-1 planets are ...

Interstellar ices as carriers of supernova material to the early solar system [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsPlanetary materials show systematic variations in their nucleosynthetic isotope compositions that resonate with orbital distance. The origin of this pattern remains debated, limiting how these isotopic signatures can be used to trace the precursors of ...
