Planetary formation tracks on the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram: Visualising the processes of giant planet growth
Benedikt Gottstein, Gabriel-Dominique Marleau, Christoph Mordasini
The Hertzsprung-Russell diagram (HRD) is central to stellar astrophysics but has rarely been used to interpret planet formation. We extend the HRD concept to forming planets and st…
Giant Planet Formation by Disk Instability
Ravit Helled, Oliver Schib, Christian Reinhardt +4
The disk instability (DI) model for giant planet formation remains an attractive alternative in explaining the formation of giant planets at early times, giant planets at large rad…
The formation of planetary systems: physics, populations, and architectures
Andrin Kessler, Jesse Weder, Jesse Polman +5
We review the progresses made in global theoretical models of planetary system formation in the last decade using the example of the planetary system formation framework known as t…
Predictions of Dust Continuum Emission from a Potential Circumplanetary Disk: A Case Study of the Planet Candidate AB Aurigae b
Yuhito Shibaike, Jun Hashimoto, Ruobing Dong +3
Gas accreting planets embedded in protoplanetary disks are expected to show dust thermal emission from their circumplanetary disks (CPDs). However, a recently reported gas accretin…
