This review discusses smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) in the astrophysical context,
with a focus on inviscid gas dynamics. The particle-based SPH technique allows an intuitive …

All four giant planets in the Solar system possess irregular satellites, characterized by large,
highly eccentric and/or inclined orbits that are distinct from the nearly circular, uninclined …

" The study of planet formation has a long history. The idea that the Solar System formed
from a rotating disk of gas and dust-the Nebula Hypothesis-dates back to the writings of …

A large planet orbiting a star in a protoplanetary disk opens a density gap along its orbit due
to the strong disk–planet interaction and migrates with the gap in the disk. It is expected that …

In an attempt to develop a deterministic theory for planet formation, we examine the
accretion of cores of giant planets from planetesimals, gas accretion onto the cores, and …

Planet formation ADS Classic is now deprecated. It will be completely retired in October 2019.
This page will automatically redirect to the new ADS interface at that point. SAO/NASA ADS …

Although it is well known that a massive planet opens a gap in a protoplanetary gaseous
disk, there is no analytic description of the surface density profile in and near the gap. The …

We present a new model of giant planet formation that extends the core-accretion model of
Pollack et al.(1996, Icarus, 124, 62) to include migration, disc evolution and gap formation …

We study the torque on low-mass planets embedded in protoplanetary discs in the two-
dimensional approximation, incorporating non-isothermal effects. We couple linear …

We present the FARGO3D code, recently publicly released. It is a magnetohydrodynamics
code developed with special emphasis on the physics of protoplanetary disks and planet …
