Global Models of Planet Formation and Evolution
C. Mordasini, P. Mollière, K. -M. Dittkrist +2
Despite the increase in observational data on exoplanets, the processes that lead to the formation of planets are still not well understood. But thanks to the high number of known…
Planet formation models: the interplay with the planetesimal disc
A. Fortier, Y. Alibert, F. Carron +2
According to the sequential accretion model, giant planet formation is based first on the formation of a solid core which, when massive enough, can gravitationally bind gas from th…
Characterization of exoplanets from their formation II: The planetary mass-radius relationship
C. Mordasini, Y. Alibert, C. Georgy +3
The research of exoplanets has entered an era in which we characterize extrasolar planets. This has become possible with measurements of radii and luminosities. Meanwhile, radial v…
Theory of planet formation
Christoph Mordasini, Hubert Klahr, Yann Alibert +2
We review the current theoretical understanding how growth from micro-meter sized dust to massive giant planets occurs in disks around young stars. After introducing a number of ob…
