Giant Planet Formation, Evolution, and Internal Structure
Ravit Helled, Peter Bodenheimer, Morris Podolak +7
The large number of detected giant exoplanets offers the opportunity to improve our understanding of the formation mechanism, evolution, and interior structure of gas giant planets…
High-Temperature Processing of Solids Through Solar Nebular Bow Shocks: 3D Radiation Hydrodynamics Simulations with Particles
A. C. Boley, M. A. Morris, S. J. Desch
A fundamental, unsolved problem in Solar System formation is explaining the melting and crystallization of chondrules found in chondritic meteorites. Theoretical models of chondrul…
The Formation of Systems with Tightly-packed Inner Planets (STIPs) via Aerodynamic Drift
Aaron C. Boley, Eric B. Ford
The NASA Kepler mission has revealed an abundant class of Systems with Tightly-packed Inner Planets (STIPs). The current paradigm for planet formation suggests that small planetesi…
Simulated Observations of Young Gravitationally Unstable Protoplanetary Discs
T. A. Douglas, P. Caselli, J. D. Ilee +4
The formation and earliest stages of protoplanetary discs remain poorly constrained by observations. ALMA will soon revolutionise this field. Therefore, it is important to provide…
The Evolution of Circumplanetary Disks around Planets in Wide Orbits: Implications for Formation Theory, Observations, and Moon Systems
Megan Shabram, Aaron Boley
Using radiation hydrodynamics simulations, we explore the evolution of circumplanetary disks around wide-orbit proto-gas giants. At large distances from the star (~100 AU), gravita…
Influence of viscosity and the adiabatic index on planetary migration
B. Bitsch, A. Boley, W. Kley
The strength and direction of migration of low mass embedded planets depends on the disk's thermodynamic state, where the internal dissipation is balanced by radiative transport, a…
