Extrasolar Planets: Constraints for Planet Formation Models
Science, 2005Since 1995, more than 150 extrasolar planets have been discovered, most of them in orbits quite different from those of the giant planets in our own solar system. The number of discovered extrasolar planets demonstrates that planetary systems are common but also that they may possess a large variety of properties.

Formation of the terrestrial planets
Earth, Moon, and Planets, 1994The early phases of formation in the inner solar system were dominated by collisions and short-range dynamical interactions among planetesimals. But the later phases, which account for most of the differences among planets, are unsure because the dynamics are more subtle. Jupiter’s influence became more important, leading to drastic clearing out of the

Abstract The possibility of formating a planetary system, starting from a diffuse rotating cloud of gas and dust, as a result of accretion by a proto-Sun is investigated. It is found that a ring of relatively high density is formed in the equatorial plane of the proto-Sun gas cloud system.

Abstract Modern observational techniques are still not powerful enough to directly view planet formation, and so it is necessary to rely on theory. However, observations do give two important clues to the formation process. The first is that the most primitive form of material in interstellar space exists as a dilute gas. Some of this

When this book was published in 2006, it had been just over ten years since the first planet outside our solar system was detected. Since then, much work has focused on understanding how extrasolar planets may form, and discovering the frequency of potentially habitable Earth-like planets.

This chapter presents the main characteristics of the formation scenario of the solar system. The fist sections summarize the observational constaints and the input of stellar physics, and reviewprevious formation models. The next section describes the currently accepted model, based on the collapse of a protoplanetary nebula into a disk and the ...
