A Scaling Law for the Orbital Architecture of Planetary Systems Formed by Gravitational Scattering and Collisions

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
In the standard formation models of terrestrial planets in the solar system and close-in super-Earths in nonresonant orbits recently discovered by exoplanet observations, planets are formed by giant impacts of protoplanets or planetary embryos after the ...

Magnetic fields in gaps surrounding giant protoplanets

open access: yes, 2015
Giant protoplanets evacuate a gap in their host protoplanetary disc, which gas must cross before it can be accreted. A magnetic field is likely carried into the gap, potentially influencing the flow.

Dynamics of Small, Constant-size Particles in a Protoplanetary Disk with an Embedded Protoplanet

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Hydrodynamical simulations of protoplanetary disk dynamics are useful tools for understanding the formation of planetary systems, including our own. Approximations are necessary to make these simulations computationally tractable.

A Resonant Beginning for the Solar System’s Terrestrial Planets

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
In the past two decades, transit surveys have revealed a class of planets with thick atmospheres—sub-Neptunes—that must have completed their accretion in protoplanet disks.

Axisymmetric Modeling of DSHARP Dusty Disks: Asymmetric Structures and Inner-disk Dispersal

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
High-resolution observations of Class II protoplanetary disks frequently reveal annular structures that may indicate the presence of embedded planets.
