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.

On the interaction between embedded planets and the corotation region of protoplanetary discs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
PhDDisc material in the corotation region librates with respect to low-mass planets on horseshoe trajectories. The exchange of angular momentum associated with this libration gives rise to the non-linear corotation torque (the horseshoe drag).

A pebble accretion model for the formation of the terrestrial planets in the Solar System

open access: yesScience Advances, 2021
A new theory for formation of Earth by accretion of small pebbles explains how our planet acquired its water and carbon.

Terrestrial Planet Formation: The Solar System and Other Systems [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 2004
Accretion of terrestrial planets and solid cores of jovian planets is discussed, based on the results of our N-body simulations. Protoplanets accrete from planetesimals through runaway and oligarchic growth until they become isolated. The isolation mass of protoplanets in terrestrial planet region is about 0.2 Earth mass, which suggests that in the ...

General circulation modelling of close-in extrasolar giant planets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
PhDA large fraction of the extrasolar planets detected so far are giant planets that have such short orbital periods (a few days) that they are thought to be tidally-synchronised with the host star. Such orbits lead to permanent day/night sides on the

Microlensing search for extra solar planets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Gravitational microlensing may be used to probe distant stars for planetary companions. The presence of a planet in the vicinity of a star acting as the lens may cause a short lived anomaly in the observed lightcurve of the lensing event.

Terrestrial planet formation in extra-solar planetary systems [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2007
AbstractTerrestrial planets form in a series of dynamical steps from the solid component of circumstellar disks. First, km-sized planetesimals form likely via a combination of sticky collisions, turbulent concentration of solids, and gravitational collapse from micron-sized dust grains in the thin disk midplane.

Modelling Atmospheric Erosion for Terrestrial Planets in the Solar System

open access: yes, 2023
Since the Great Oxidation Event, the oxygen escape rate on Earth has changed over time mainly due to solar evolution. Two solar agents drive the Earth’s atmospheric erosion rate: the solar wind and the EUV radiation. The first one affects the non-thermal processes by changing the plasma conditions, and the second one affects both types of processes: by
