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…

Hourly radio variability of PDS70c from time-differential photometry

Simon Casassus, Miguel Carcamo, Oriana Dominguez-Jamett +5

The radio emission mechanisms from accreting protoplanets, and their variability, link observations and physical properties. We revisit the variability of the ~343GHz (ALMA Band7)…

Dust back-reaction on gas around planets modifies the cold thermal torque

Raúl O. Chametla, Ondřej Chrenko, F. J. Sánchez-Salcedo +7

A nascent planet in a gas disk experiences radial migration due to the different torques which act on it. It has recently been shown that the torques produced by the gas and dust d…

Detectability of resolved hydrogen lines from the accretion shock at gas giants and their circumplanetary discs

Gabriel-Dominique Marleau, Thomas Henning, Roy van Boekel +3

Fewer gas giants have been caught in their accretion phase than mature ones are known. Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) instruments will have a higher sensitivity and a smaller inne…
