Planet Formation in Binaries [PDF]
, 2015 Spurred by the discovery of numerous exoplanets in multiple systems, binaries have become in recent years one of the main topics in planet formation research. Numerous studies have investigated to what extent the presence of a stellar companion can affect the planet formation process.

On planet formation in HL Tau [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 2015 Abstract We explain the axisymmetric gaps seen in recent long-baseline observations of the HL Tau protoplanetary disc with the Atacama Large Millimetre/Submillimetre Array (ALMA) as being due to the different response of gas and dust to embedded planets in protoplanetary discs. We perform global, three-dimensional dusty smoothed particle

Stokes trapping and planet formation [PDF]
, 2007 It is believed that planets are formed by aggregation of dust particles suspended in the turbulent gas forming accretion disks around developing stars. We describe a mechanism, termed 'Stokes trapping', by which turbulence limits the growth of aggregates

Photophoresis boosts giant planet formation [PDF]
, 2013 In the core accretion model of giant planet formation, a solid protoplanetary core begins to accrete gas directly from the nebula when its mass reaches about 5 earth masses.

A tale of planet formation: from dust to planets [PDF]
Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2020 AbstractThe characterization of exoplanets and their birth protoplanetary disks has enormously advanced in the last decade. Benefitting from that, our global understanding of the planet formation processes has been substantially improved. In this review, we first summarize the cutting-edge states of the exoplanet and disk observations.

Catching a planet: A tidal capture origin for the exomoon candidate Kepler 1625b I [PDF]
, 2018 The (yet-to-be confirmed) discovery of a Neptune-sized moon around the ~3.2 Jupiter-mass planet in Kepler 1625 puts interesting constraints on the formation of the system.

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

Stochasticity & Predictability in Terrestrial Planet Formation [PDF]
, 2016 Terrestrial planets are thought to be the result of a vast number of gravitational interactions and collisions between smaller bodies. We use numerical simulations to show that practically identical initial conditions result in a wide array of final ...

Constraining planet formation around 6M⊙-8M⊙ 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
