Simulating the interplay between the snowline pebble flux and ongoing planet formation and migration
Danila Astrakhantsev, Sebastiaan Krijt, Sofia Savvidou +1
Pebble drift plays a central role in modern planet formation models. In this work we carry out planet formation simulations (including pebble accretion and migration) for a range o…

Locked In Ice: how Pebble Drift and Volatile Entrapment can Significantly Impact Carbon and Oxygen Ratios in Evolving Protoplanetary Discs
Joe Williams, Sebastiaan Krijt, Bertram Bitsch +2
The complex interplay between the growth, drift, and sublimation of ice-covered pebbles can strongly influence the volatile distribution and evolution of disc composition, and ther…

Aligned Stellar Obliquities for Two Hot Jupiter-hosting M Dwarfs Revealed by MAROON-X: Implications for Hot Jupiter Formation
Drew Weisserman, Erik Gillis, Ryan Cloutier +14
Hot Jupiters (HJs) are less common around early M dwarfs than around AFGK stars, suggesting that HJs may form and/or migrate via distinct pathways around different type…
