Planetary population synthesis
Remo Burn, Christoph Mordasini
The planetary population synthesis method aims at comprehensively testing planet formation theories against observational evidence and providing theoretical sets of planets to help…
Resonant sub-Neptunes are puffier
Adrien Leleu, Jean-Baptiste Delisle, Remo Burn +12
A systematic, population-level discrepancy exists between the densities of exoplanets whose masses have been measured with transit timing variations (TTVs) versus those measured wi…
Constraints on the formation history and composition of Kepler planets from their distribution of orbital period ratios
Di-Chang Chen, Christoph Mordasini, Ji-Wei Xie +2
The Kepler high-precision planetary sample has revealed a radius valley, separating compact super-Earths from sub-Neptunes with lower density. Super-Earths are generally assumed to…
Constraints on PDS 70 b and c from the dust continuum emission of the circumplanetary discs considering in situ dust evolution
Yuhito Shibaike, Christoph Mordasini
The young T Tauri star PDS 70 has two gas accreting planets sharing one large gap in a pre-transitional disc. Dust continuum emission from PDS 70 c has been detected by Atacama Lar…
Planet formation -- observational constraints, physical processes, and compositional patterns
Christoph Mordasini, Remo Burn
The goal of planet formation as a field of study is not only to provide the understanding of how planets come into existence. It is also an interdisciplinary bridge which links ast…
Accretion of primordial H-He atmospheres in mini-Neptunes: the importance of envelope enrichment
Marit Mol Lous, Christoph Mordasini, Ravit Helled
Out of the more than 5,000 detected exoplanets a considerable number belongs to a category called 'mini-Neptunes'. Interior models of these planets suggest that they have some prim…
