KOI-3158: The oldest known system of terrestrial-size planets [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015 The first discoveries of exoplanets around Sun-like stars have fueled efforts to find ever smaller worlds evocative of Earth and other terrestrial planets in the Solar System. While gas-giant planets appear to form preferentially around metal-rich stars,

An early dynamical instability among the Solar System’s giant planets triggered by the gas disk’s dispersal [PDF]
, 2020 Abstract The Solar System’s orbital structure is thought to have been sculpted by a dynamical instability among the giant planets[1–4]. Yet the instability trigger and exact timing have proved hard to pin down[5–9]. The giant planets formed within a gas-dominated disk around the young Sun.

Classify and Explore the Diversity of Planetary Population and Interior Properties
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Classification is an essential method and has been developed widely in astronomy. However, planets still lack a universal classification framework, because the solar system planet sample is too small for statistical analysis.

The Dynamical Consequences of a Super-Earth in the Solar System
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Placing the architecture of the solar system within the broader context of planetary architectures is one of the primary topics of interest within planetary science. Exoplanet discoveries have revealed a large range of system architectures, many of which

Revealing giant planet interiors beneath the cloudy veil
Nature Communications, 2020 Observations from the Juno and Cassini missions provide essential constraints on the internal structures and compositions of Jupiter and Saturn, resulting in profound revisions of our understanding of the interior and atmospheres of Gas Giant planets ...

Moist Convection in the Giant Planet Atmospheres
Remote Sensing, 2022 The outer planets of our Solar System display a myriad of interesting cloud features, of different colors and sizes. The differences between the types of observed clouds suggest a complex interplay between the dynamics and chemistry at play in these ...

Main Belt Comets and other “Interlopers” in the Solar System
Universe, 2022 According to traditional ideas about the formation of the Solar System starting from a protoplanetary disk of gas and dust, a well-defined distribution of planets and minor bodies is expected: (a) volatile-poor rocky bodies (terrestrial planets and ...

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We model the early stages of planet formation in the solar system, including continual planetesimal formation, and planetesimal and pebble accretion onto planetary embryos in an evolving disk driven by a disk wind.
