Building terrestrial planets

A Morbidelli, JI Lunine, DP O'Brien… - Annual Review of …, 2012 - annualreviews.org
This article reviews our current understanding of terrestrial planet formation. The focus is on
computer simulations of the dynamical aspects of the accretion process. Throughout the …

Evolution of debris disks

MC Wyatt - Annu. Rev. Astron. Astrophys., 2008 - annualreviews.org
Circumstellar dust exists around several hundred main sequence stars. For the youngest
stars, that dust could be a remnant of the protoplanetary disk. Mostly it is inferred to be …

[HTML][HTML] The New Generation Planetary Population Synthesis (NGPPS)-IV. Planetary systems around low-mass stars

R Burn, M Schlecker, C Mordasini… - Astronomy & …, 2021 - aanda.org
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 California-Kepler survey. V. Peas in a pod: Planets in a Kepler multi-planet system are similar in size and regularly spaced

LM Weiss, GW Marcy, EA Petigura… - The Astronomical …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
We have established precise planet radii, semimajor axes, incident stellar fluxes, and stellar
masses for 909 planets in 355 multi-planet systems discovered by Kepler. In this sample, we …

Planet formation theory in the era of ALMA and Kepler: from pebbles to exoplanets

J Drazkowska, B Bitsch, M Lambrechts… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
Our understanding of planet formation has been rapidly evolving in recent years. The
classical planet formation theory, developed when the only known planetary system was our …

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

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 …

Growth of asteroids, planetary embryos, and Kuiper belt objects by chondrule accretion

A Johansen, MMM Low, P Lacerda, M Bizzarro - Science Advances, 2015 - science.org
Chondrules are millimeter-sized spherules that dominate primitive meteorites (chondrites)
originating from the asteroid belt. The incorporation of chondrules into asteroidal bodies …

About 30% of Sun-like stars have Kepler-like planetary systems: a study of their intrinsic architecture

W Zhu, C Petrovich, Y Wu, S Dong… - The Astrophysical …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
We constrain the intrinsic architecture of Kepler planetary systems by modeling the observed
multiplicities of the transiting planets (tranets) and their transit timing variations (TTVs). We …

[HTML][HTML] Accretion and differentiation of the terrestrial planets with implications for the compositions of early-formed Solar System bodies and accretion of water

DC Rubie, SA Jacobson, A Morbidelli, DP O'Brien… - Icarus, 2015 - Elsevier
In order to test accretion simulations as well as planetary differentiation scenarios, we have
integrated a multistage core–mantle differentiation model with N-body accretion simulations …

Framework for the architecture of exoplanetary systems-I. Four classes of planetary system architecture

L Mishra, Y Alibert, S Udry, C Mordasini - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2023 - aanda.org
We present a novel, model-independent framework for studying the architecture of an
exoplanetary system at the system level. This framework allows us to characterise, quantify …
