Stellar irradiated discs and implications on migration of embedded planets I: equilibrium discs
Bertram Bitsch, Aurélien Crida, Alessandro Morbidelli +2
The strength and direction of migration of low mass planets depends on the disc's thermodynamics. In discs where the viscous heating is balanced by radiative transport, the migrati…
Circum-planetary discs as bottlenecks for gas accretion onto giant planets
Guillaume Rivier, Aurélien Crida, Alessandro Morbidelli +1
With hundreds of exoplanets detected, it is necessary to revisit giant planets accretion models to explain their mass distribution. In particular, formation of sub-jovian planets r…
NOTE: Explaining why the Uranian satellites have equatorial prograde orbits despite the large planetary obliquity
Alessandro Morbidelli, Kleomenis Tsiganis, Konstantin Batygin +2
We show that the existence of prograde equatorial satellites is consistent with a collisional tilting scenario for Uranus. In fact, if the planet was surrounded by a proto-satellit…
