Disc fragmentation. II. Ejection of low mass Free Floating Planets from growing binary systems
Sergei Nayakshin, Luyao Zhang, Aleksandra ÄaloviÄ +4
Observations indicate that disc fragmentation due to Gravitational Instability (GI) is the likely origin of massive companions to stars, such as giant planets orbiting M-dwarf star…

Disc fragmentation. I. Ejection of Jupiter-mass Free Floating Planets from growing binary systems
Aleksandra ÄaloviÄ, Sergei Nayakshin, Sarah Casewell +1
Over the past 25 years, observations have uncovered a large population of free-floating planets (FFPs), whose origins remain debated. Massive FFPs (several Jupiter masses or more)…

Dust growth and planet formation by disc fragmentation
Hans Lee, Sergei Nayakshin, Richard A. Booth
It is often argued that gravitational instability of realistic protoplanetary discs is only possible at distances larger than au from the central star, requiring high dis…
