Planet formation with envelope enrichment: new insights on planetary diversity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We compute, for the first time, self-consistent models of planet growth including the effect of envelope enrichment. The change of envelope metallicity is assumed to be the result of planetesimal disruption or icy pebble sublimation.

Testing giant planet formation in the transitional disk of SAO 206462 using deep VLT/SPHERE imaging [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Context. The SAO 206462 (HD 135344B) disk is one of the few known transitional disks showing asymmetric features in scattered light and thermal emission.

Can planetary instability explain the Kepler dichotomy?

open access: yes, 2012
The planet candidates discovered by the Kepler mission provide a rich sample to constrain the architectures and relative inclinations of planetary systems within approximately 0.5 AU of their host stars.

On the Likelihood of Planet Formation in Close Binaries [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
To date, several exoplanets have been discovered orbiting stars with close binary companions (a~<30 AU). The fact that planets can form in these dynamically challenging environments implies that planet formation must be a robust process. The initial protoplanetary disks in these systems from which planets must form should be tidally truncated to radii ...

exoALMA. XIV. Gas Surface Densities in the RX J1604.3−2130 A Disk from Pressure-broadened CO Line Wings

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Gas surface density is one of the most relevant physical quantities in protoplanetary disks. However, its precise measurement remains highly challenging due to the lack of a direct tracer.

The Statistical Analysis of Exoplanet and Host Stars Based on Multi-Satellite Data Observations

open access: yesUniverse
In recent years, the rapid development of exoplanet research has provided us with an opportunity to better understand planetary systems in the universe and to search for signs of life.

Low-mass Stars: Their Protoplanetary Disk Lifetime Distribution

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
While most protoplanetary disks lose their gas within less than 10 Myr, individual disk lifetimes vary from 5 Myr. The next challenge is to quantitatively link the diversity of disk lifetimes to the diversity in planets.

Evolution of Stars on The Establishment of The Solar System and Planetary System

open access: yesJurnal Ilmiah Pendidikan Fisika Al-Biruni, 2016

Giant Planet Formation and Migration

open access: yes, 2018
Planets form in circumstellar discs around young stars. Starting with sub-micron sized dust particles, giant planet formation is all about growing 14 orders of magnitude in size.

Impact of planet--planet scattering on the formation and survival of debris disks

open access: yes, 2014
Planet--planet scattering is a major dynamical mechanism able to significantly alter the architecture of a planetary system. In addition to that, it may also affect the formation and retention of a debris disk by the system.
