Long-term Protoplanetary Disk Evolution from Molecular Cloud Core Collapse and Implications for Planet Formation. I. Weak and Moderate Disk Self-gravities

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We construct a one-dimensional protoplanetary disk model to investigate long-term disk evolution from molecular cloud core collapse. To obtain details of disk evolution, instead of solving the traditional diffusion equation for disk surface density, we ...

Rapid Formation of Gas-giant Planets via Collisional Coagulation from Dust Grains to Planetary Cores. II. Dependence on Pebble Bulk Density and Disk Temperature

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Thanks to “dust-to-planet” simulations (DTPSs), which treat the collisional evolution directly from dust to giant-planet cores in a protoplanetary disk, we showed that giant-planet cores are formed in ≲10 au in several 10 ^5 yr, because porous pebbles ...

Radioactive Planet Formation [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2021
Abstract Young stellar objects are observed to have large X-ray fluxes and are thought to produce commensurate luminosities in energetic particles (cosmic rays). This particle radiation, in turn, can synthesize short-lived radioactive nuclei through spallation.

MINDS. The Detection of 13CO2 with JWST-MIRI Indicates Abundant CO2 in a Protoplanetary Disk

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
We present JWST-MIRI Medium Resolution Spectrometer (MRS) spectra of the protoplanetary disk around the low-mass T Tauri star GW Lup from the MIRI mid-INfrared Disk Survey Guaranteed Time Observations program. Emission from ^12 CO _2 , ^13 CO _2 , H _2 O,

Formation of Terrestrial Planets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The past decade has seen major progress in our understanding of terrestrial planet formation. Yet key questions remain. In this review we first address the growth of 100 km-scale planetesimals as a consequence of dust coagulation and concentration, with current models favoring the streaming instability.

Early Planet Formation in Embedded Disks (eDisk). VII. Keplerian Disk, Disk Substructure, and Accretion Streamers in the Class 0 Protostar IRAS 16544–1604 in CB 68

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present observations of the Class 0 protostar IRAS 16544–1604 in CB 68 from the “Early Planet Formation in Embedded Disks (eDisk)” ALMA Large program. The ALMA observations target continuum and lines at 1.3 mm with an angular resolution of ∼5 au.

The Effect of Dust Evolution and Traps on Inner Disk Water Enrichment

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Substructures in protoplanetary disks can act as dust traps that shape the radial distribution of pebbles. By blocking the passage of pebbles, the presence of gaps in disks may have a profound effect on pebble delivery into the inner disk, crucial for ...

Formation of Giant Planets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Giant planets are tens to thousands of times as massive as the Earth, and many times as large. Most of their volumes are occupied by hydrogen and helium, the primary constituents of the protostellar disks from which they formed. Significantly, the solar system giants are also highly enriched in heavier elements relative to the Sun, indicating that ...

A giant exoplanet orbiting a very-low-mass star challenges planet formation models [PDF]

open access: yesScience, 2019
A small star hosts a big planet M dwarfs, the most common type of star, are low-mass objects that emit most of their faint light in the near-infrared, making it difficult to detect any orbiting exoplanets. Morales et al.

Formation of the Planets [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1981
A timetable for an evolutionary sequence of processes, which begins with the formation of the solar nebula being nearly in equilibrium and ends with the planetary formation, is presented. Basic features of the processes and grounds for the estimation of time-scales are explained for each of the processes.
