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 …

A steeper than linear disk mass–stellar mass scaling relation
The disk mass is among the most important input parameter for every planet formation
model to determine the number and masses of the planets that can form. We present an …

An ALMA survey of protoplanetary disks in the σ Orionis cluster
The σ Orionis cluster is important for studying protoplanetary disk evolution, as its
intermediate age (∼ 3–5 Myr) is comparable to the median disk lifetime. We use ALMA to …

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 …
