Planet-disc interactions and early evolution of planetary systems
C Baruteau, A Crida, SJ Paardekooper… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2013 - arxiv.org
The great diversity of extrasolar planetary systems has challenged our understanding of how
planets form, and how their orbits evolve as they form. Among the various processes that …

Kinematic evidence for an embedded protoplanet in a circumstellar disk
Disks of gas and dust surrounding young stars are the birthplace of planets. However, the
direct detection of protoplanets forming within disks has proved elusive to date. We present …
