Planet Formation

open access: yes, 2006
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.

Formation and Evolution of Planets

Astrophysics and Space Science, 1994
The basic stages of the formation of the planets are considered. Decay of turbulence in the solar nebula allows the precipitation of dust particles to the solar nebula’s equatorial plane, their growth occurring by sticking at collisions and transformation into kilometer-sized bodies (planetesimals) partly by direct growth and partly via gravitational ...

Sandwiched planet formation: restricting the mass of a middle planet [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
We conduct gas and dust hydrodynamical simulations of protoplanetary discs with one and two embedded planets to determine the impact that a second planet located further out in the disc has on the potential for subsequent planet formation in the region ...

Extrasolar Planets: Constraints for Planet Formation Models

Science, 2005
Since 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, 1994
The 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
