Highly inclined and eccentric massive planets. II. Planet-planet interactions during the disc phase

Sotiris Sotiriadis, Anne-Sophie Libert, Bertram Bitsch +1

We aim to investigate the influence of the eccentricity and inclination damping due to planet-disc interactions on the final configurations of the systems, generalizing previous st…

Initial mass function of planetesimals formed by the streaming instability

Urs Schäfer, Chao-Chin Yang, Anders Johansen

The streaming instability is a mechanism to concentrate solid particles into overdense filaments that undergo gravitational collapse and form planetesimals. However, it remains unc…

Concentrating small particles in protoplanetary disks through the streaming instability

Chao-Chin Yang, Anders Johansen, Daniel Carrera

Laboratory experiments indicate that direct growth of silicate grains via mutual collisions can only produce particles up to roughly millimeters in size. On the other hand, recent…

Kepler-11 is a Solar Twin: Revising the Masses and Radii of Benchmark Planets Via Precise Stellar Characterization

Megan Bedell, Jacob L. Bean, Jorge Melendez +7

The six planets of the Kepler-11 system are the archetypal example of a population of surprisingly low-density transiting planets revealed by the Kepler mission. We have determined…

Atmospheric Signatures of Giant Exoplanet Formation by Pebble Accretion

Nikku Madhusudhan, Bertram Bitsch, Anders Johansen +1

Atmospheric chemical abundances of giant planets lead to important constraints on planetary formation and migration. Studies have shown that giant planets that migrate through the…

The unstable fate of the planet orbiting the A-star in the HD 131399 triple stellar system

Dimitri Veras, Alexander J. Mustill, Boris T. Gaensicke

Validated planet candidates need not lie on long-term stable orbits, and instability triggered by post-main-sequence stellar evolution can generate architectures which transport ro…
