Towards a global model for planet formation in layered MHD wind-driven discs: A population synthesis approach to investigate the impact of low viscosity and accretion layer thickness
Jesse Weder, Christoph Mordasini
Planet formation is inherently linked to protoplanetary disc evolution, which recent developments suggest is driven by magnetised winds rather than turbulent viscosity. We study pl…

Inferring the physics of protoplanetary disc evolution from the irradiated Cygnus OB2 region -- A comparison of viscous and MHD wind-driven scenarios
Jesse Weder, Andrew J. Winter, Christoph Mordasini
Our current understanding has crystallised around two possible evolution scenarios for protoplanetary discs (turbulent viscosity and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) wind-driven) - but wh…

The importance of the dynamical corotation torque for the migration of low-mass planets -- 1D analytical prescriptions verified by 2D hydrodynamical simulations
Jesse Weder, Clément Baruteau, Christoph Mordasini
Recent developments suggested that planet formation occurs in regions of the discs with low turbulent viscosity. There, the dynamical corotation torque is thought to play an import…
