Why do M dwarfs have more transiting planets?
Gijs D. Mulders, Joanna Drążkowska, Nienke van der Marel +2
We propose a planet formation scenario to explain the elevated occurrence rates of transiting planets around M dwarfs compared to sun-like stars discovered by Kepler. We use a pebb…
The Mass Budgets and Spatial Scales of Exoplanet Systems and Protoplanetary Disks
Gijs D. Mulders, Ilaria Pascucci, Fred J. Ciesla +1
Planets are born from disks of gas and dust, and observations of protoplanetary disks are used to constrain the initial conditions of planet formation. However, dust mass measureme…
Ice inheritance in dynamical disk models
Jennifer Bergner, Fred Ciesla
The compositions of planet-forming disks are set by a combination of material inherited from the interstellar medium and material reprocessed during disk formation and evolution. I…
Early volatile depletion on planetesimals inferred from C-S systematics of iron meteorite parent bodies
Marc M. Hirschmann, Edwin A. Bergin, Geoff A. Blake +2
During the formation of terrestrial planets, volatile loss may occur through nebular processing, planetesimal differentiation, and planetary accretion. We investigate iron meteorit…
Earth's carbon deficit caused by early loss through irreversible sublimation
Jie Li, Edwin A. Bergin, Geoffrey A. Blake +2
Carbon is an essential element for life but its behavior during Earth's accretion is not well understood. Carbonaceous grains in meteoritic and cometary materials suggest that irre…
