Formation and Evolution of Planetary Systems in Presence of Highly Inclined Stellar Perturbers [PDF]
The presence of highly eccentric extrasolar planets in binary stellar systems suggests that the Kozai effect has played an important role in shaping their dynamical architectures.

The Influence of Cold Jupiters in the Formation of Close-in Planets. I. Planetesimal Transport
The formation of a cold Jupiter (CJ) is expected to quench the influx of pebbles and the migration of cores interior to its orbit, thus limiting the efficiency of rocky planet formation either by pebble accretion and/or orbital migration.

Formation, Orbital and Internal Evolutions of Young Planetary Systems [PDF]
The growing body of observational data on extrasolar planets and protoplanetary disks has stimulated intense research on planet formation and evolution in the past few years.

How do disks and planetary systems in high-mass open clusters differ from those around field stars?
Only star clusters that are sufficiently compact and massive survive largely unharmed beyond 10 Myr. However, their compactness means a high stellar density which can lead to strong gravitational interactions between the stars.

Theoretical models of planetary system formation. II. Post-formation evolution [PDF]
We extend the results of planetary formation synthesis by computing the long-term evolution of synthetic systems from the clearing of the gas disk into the dynamical evolution phase.

High-eccentricity migration is a likely formation mechanism for many observed hot Jupiters, particularly those with a large misalignment between the stellar spin axis and orbital angular momentum axis of the planet.

Disk-planets interactions and the diversity of period ratios in Kepler's multi-planetary systems
The Kepler mission is dramatically increasing the number of planets known in multi-planetary systems. Many adjacent planets have orbital period ratios near resonant values, with a tendency to be larger than required for exact first-order mean-motion ...

Jupiter's Decisive Role in the Inner Solar System's Early Evolution [PDF]
The statistics of extrasolar planetary systems indicate that the default mode of planet formation generates planets with orbital periods shorter than 100 days, and masses substantially exceeding that of the Earth.

Disk Planet Interactions and Early Evolution in Young Planetary Systems
We study and review disk protoplanet interactions using local shearing box simulations. These suffer the disadvantage of having potential artefacts arising from periodic boundary conditions but the advantage, when compared to global simulations, of being
