Large Fluctuations within 1 AU in Protoplanetary Disks
John Chambers
Protoplanetary disks are often assumed to change slowly and smoothly during planet formation. Here, we investigate the time evolution of isolated disks subject to viscosity and a d…
Rapid Formation of Jupiter and Wide-Orbit Exoplanets in Disks with Pressure Bumps
John Chambers
The formation of gas-giant planets within the lifetime of a protoplanetary disk is challenging especially far from a star. A promising model for the rapid formation of giant-planet…
Planet Formation: An Optimized Population-Synthesis Approach
John Chambers
The physics of planet formation is investigated using a population synthesis approach. We develop a simple model for planetary growth including pebble and gas accretion, and orbita…
Steamworlds: atmospheric structure and critical mass of planets accreting icy pebbles
John Chambers
In the core accretion model, gas-giant planets first form a solid core, which then accretes gas from a protoplanetary disk when the core exceeds a critical mass. Here, we model the…
