The New Generation Planetary Population Synthesis (NGPPS)-IV. Planetary systems around low-mass stars
Context. Previous theoretical works on planet formation around low-mass stars have often
been limited to large planets and individual systems. As current surveys routinely detect …

The science of sungrazers, sunskirters, and other near-sun comets
This review addresses our current understanding of comets that venture close to the Sun,
and are hence exposed to much more extreme conditions than comets that are typically …

The New Generation Planetary Population Synthesis (NGPPS)-I. Bern global model of planet formation and evolution, model tests, and emerging planetary systems
Context. The explosion of observational data on exoplanets gives many constraints on
theoretical models of planet formation and evolution. Observational data probe very large …

The Pluto system: Initial results from its exploration by New Horizons
INTRODUCTION Pluto was discovered in 1930 and was long thought to be a misfit or
anomaly in the solar system. However, the 1992 discovery of the Kuiper Belt—a torus …

The New Generation Planetary Population Synthesis (NGPPS)-II. Planetary population of solar-like stars and overview of statistical results
Context. Planetary formation and evolution is a combination of multiple interlinked
processes. Constraining the mechanisms observationally requires statistical comparison to …

The absolute magnitude distribution of Kuiper belt objects
Here we measure the absolute magnitude distributions (H-distribution) of the dynamically
excited and quiescent (hot and cold) Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs), and test if they share the …

The collisional evolution of the primordial Kuiper Belt, its destabilized population, and the Trojan asteroids
The tumultuous early era of outer solar system evolution culminated when Neptune migrated
across the primordial Kuiper Belt (PKB) and triggered a dynamical instability among the …

Impact craters on Pluto and Charon indicate a deficit of small Kuiper belt objects
The flyby of Pluto and Charon by the New Horizons spacecraft provided high-resolution
images of cratered surfaces embedded in the Kuiper belt, an extensive region of bodies …

Detection of exocometary CO within the 440 Myr old fomalhaut belt: a similar CO+ CO2 ice abundance in exocomets and solar system comets
Abstract Recent Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array observations present
mounting evidence for the presence of exocometary gas released within Kuiper Belt analogs …

The interplay between pebble and planetesimal accretion in population synthesis models and its role in giant planet formation
A Kessler, Y Alibert - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2023 - aanda.org
Context. In the core accretion scenario of planet formation, rocky cores grow by first
accreting solids until they are massive enough to accrete gas. For giant planet formation, this …
