Review: A Coherent and Comprehensive Model of the Evolution of the Outer Solar System [PDF]
, 2010 Since the discovery of the first extra-solar planets, we are confronted with the puzzling diversity of planetary systems. Processes like planet radial migration in gas-disks and planetary orbital instabilities, often invoked to explain the exotic orbits ...

Separating gas-giant and ice-giant planets by halting pebble accretion [PDF]
, 2014 In the Solar System giant planets come in two flavours: 'gas giants' (Jupiter and Saturn) with massive gas envelopes and 'ice giants' (Uranus and Neptune) with much thinner envelopes around their cores.

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.

Jupiter Atmospheric Models and Outer Boundary Conditions for Giant Planet Evolutionary Calculations
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present updated atmospheric tables suitable for calculating the post-formation evolution and cooling of Jupiter and Jupiter-like exoplanets. These tables are generated using a 1D radiative transfer modeling code that incorporates the latest opacities ...

Rapid Formation of Icy Super-Earths and the Cores of Gas Giant Planets [PDF]
, 2008 We describe a coagulation model that leads to the rapid formation of super-Earths and the cores of gas giant planets. Interaction of collision fragments with the gaseous disk is the crucial element of this model.

The McDonald Observatory Planet Search: New Long-Period Giant Planets, and Two Interacting Jupiters in the HD 155358 System [PDF]
, 2012 We present high-precision radial velocity (RV) observations of four solar-type (F7-G5) stars - HD 79498, HD 155358, HD 197037, and HD 220773 - taken as part of the McDonald Observatory Planet Search Program.

Occurrence and core-envelope structure of 1--4x Earth-size planets around Sun-like stars [PDF]
, 2014 Small planets, 1-4x the size of Earth, are extremely common around Sun-like stars, and surprisingly so, as they are missing in our solar system. Recent detections have yielded enough information about this class of exoplanets to begin characterizing ...

Dependencies of Mantle Shock Heating in Pairwise Accretion
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2021 The final assembly of planets involves mutual collisions of large similar-sized protoplanets (“giant impacts”), setting the stage for modern geologic and atmospheric processes.

Vesta and Ceres: crossing the history of the Solar System
, 2011 The evolution of the Solar System can be schematically divided into three different phases: the Solar Nebula, the Primordial Solar System and the Modern Solar System.

Chemical signatures of planets: beyond solar-twins [PDF]
, 2013 Elemental abundance studies of solar twin stars suggest that the solar chemical composition contains signatures of the formation of terrestrial planets in the solar system, namely small but significant depletions of the refractory elements.
