The external photoevaporation of planet-forming discs

AJ Winter, TJ Haworth - The European Physical Journal Plus, 2022 - Springer
Planet-forming disc evolution is not independent of the star formation and feedback process
in giant molecular clouds. In particular, OB stars emit UV radiation that heats and disperses …

[HTML][HTML] The nature of the TRAPPIST-1 exoplanets

SL Grimm, BO Demory, M Gillon, C Dorn… - Astronomy & …, 2018 - aanda.org
Context. The TRAPPIST-1 system hosts seven Earth-sized, temperate exoplanets orbiting an
ultra-cool dwarf star. As such, it represents a remarkable setting to study the formation and …

S Zhang, Z Zhu, J Huang, VV Guzmán… - The Astrophysical …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract The Disk Substructures at High Angular Resolution Project (DSHARP) provides a
large sample of protoplanetary disks with substructures that could be induced by young …

Bifurcation of planetary building blocks during Solar System formation

T Lichtenberg, J Dra̧żkowska, M Schönbächler… - Science, 2021 - science.org
Geochemical and astronomical evidence demonstrates that planet formation occurred in two
spatially and temporally separated reservoirs. The origin of this dichotomy is unknown. We …

The imprint of exoplanet formation history on observable present-day spectra of hot Jupiters

C Mordasini, R van Boekel, P Mollière… - The Astrophysical …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
The composition of a planet's atmosphere is determined by its formation, evolution, and
present-day insolation. A planet's spectrum therefore may hold clues on its origins. We …

Hot Jupiters: origins, structure, atmospheres

JJ Fortney, RI Dawson… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
We provide a brief review of many aspects of the planetary physics of hot Jupiters. Our aim is
to cover most of the major areas of current study while providing the reader with additional …

How drifting and evaporating pebbles shape giant planets-I. Heavy element content and atmospheric C/O

AD Schneider, B Bitsch - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2021 - aanda.org
Recent observations of extrasolar gas giants suggest super-stellar C/O ratios in planetary
atmospheres, while interior models of observed extrasolar giant planets additionally suggest …

The dispersal of planet-forming discs: theory confronts observations

B Ercolano, I Pascucci - Royal Society Open Science, 2017 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Discs of gas and dust around million-year-old stars are a by-product of the star formation
process and provide the raw material to form planets. Hence, their evolution and dispersal …

The New Generation Planetary Population Synthesis (NGPPS)-I. Bern global model of planet formation and evolution, model tests, and emerging planetary systems

A Emsenhuber, C Mordasini, R Burn, Y Alibert… - Astronomy & …, 2021 - aanda.org
Context. The explosion of observational data on exoplanets gives many constraints on
theoretical models of planet formation and evolution. Observational data probe very large …
