Exploring plausible formation scenarios for the planet candidate orbiting Proxima Centauri
Gavin A. L. Coleman, Richard P. Nelson, Sijme-Jan Paardekooper +3
We present a study of four different formation scenarios that may be able to explain the origin of the recently announced planet (`Proxima b') orbiting Proxima Centauri. The aim is…
Giant planet formation in radially structured protoplanetary discs
Gavin A. L. Coleman, Richard P. Nelson
Our recent N-body simulations of planetary system formation, incorporating models for the main physical processes thought to be important during the building of planets (i.e. gas d…
On the formation of compact planetary systems via concurrent core accretion and migration
Gavin A. L. Coleman, Richard P. Nelson
We present the results of planet formation N-body simulations based on a comprehensive physical model that includes planetary mass growth through mutual embryo collisions and plane…
