Planet formation—Observational constraints, physical processes, and compositional patterns

C Mordasini, R Burn - Reviews in Mineralogy and …, 2024 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
A general theory of planet formation has been a topic of intense study over many years. The
interest in such a theory emerges naturally from asking the question of where our planet …

Close-in ice lines and the super-stellar C/O ratio in discs around very low-mass stars

J Mah, B Bitsch, I Pascucci, T Henning - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2023 - aanda.org
The origin of the elevated C/O ratios in discs around late M dwarfs compared to discs around
solar-type stars is not well understood. Here we endeavour to reproduce the observed …

Resolved imaging confirms a radiation belt around an ultracool dwarf

MM Kao, AJ Mioduszewski, J Villadsen, EL Shkolnik - Nature, 2023 - nature.com
Radiation belts are present in all large-scale Solar System planetary magnetospheres:

ExoGemS Detection of a metal hydride in an exoplanet atmosphere at high spectral resolution

L Flagg, JD Turner, E Deibert… - The Astrophysical …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
Exoplanet atmosphere studies are often enriched by synergies with brown dwarf analogs.
However, many key molecules commonly seen in brown dwarfs have yet to be confirmed in …

The CARMENES search for exoplanets around M dwarfs-Telluric absorption corrected high S/N optical and near-infrared template spectra of 382 M dwarf stars

E Nagel, S Czesla, A Kaminski, M Zechmeister… - Astronomy & …, 2023 - aanda.org
Light from celestial objects interacts with the molecules of the Earth's atmosphere, resulting
in the production of telluric absorption lines in ground-based spectral data. Correcting for …

Forming giant planets around late-M dwarfs: Pebble accretion and planet–planet collision

M Pan, B Liu, A Johansen, M Ogihara, S Wang… - Astronomy & …, 2024 - aanda.org
We propose a pebble-driven core accretion scenario to explain the formation of giant
planets around the late-M dwarfs of M★= 0.1–0.2 M⊙. In order to explore the optimal disk …
