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 …

California legacy survey. II. Occurrence of giant planets beyond the ice line

BJ Fulton, LJ Rosenthal, LA Hirsch… - The Astrophysical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We used high-precision radial velocity measurements of FGKM stars to determine the
occurrence of giant planets as a function of orbital separation spanning 0.03–30 au. Giant …

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 …

Hints for a turnover at the snow line in the giant planet occurrence rate

RB Fernandes, GD Mulders, I Pascucci… - The Astrophysical …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
The orbital distribution of giant planets is crucial for understanding how terrestrial planets
form and predicting yields of exoplanet surveys. Here, we derive giant planets occurrence …

The Gaia–Kepler Stellar Properties Catalog. II. Planet radius demographics as a function of stellar mass and age

TA Berger, D Huber, E Gaidos… - The Astronomical …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
Studies of exoplanet demographics require large samples and precise constraints on
exoplanet host stars. Using the homogeneous Kepler stellar properties derived using the …

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

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 …

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 …

The New Generation Planetary Population Synthesis (NGPPS)-II. Planetary population of solar-like stars and overview of statistical results

A Emsenhuber, C Mordasini, R Burn, Y Alibert… - Astronomy & …, 2021 - aanda.org
Context. Planetary formation and evolution is a combination of multiple interlinked
processes. Constraining the mechanisms observationally requires statistical comparison to …

Planetary evolution with atmospheric photoevaporation-I. Analytical derivation and numerical study of the evaporation valley and transition from super-Earths to sub …

C Mordasini - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2020 - aanda.org
Context. Observations have revealed in the Kepler data a depleted region separating
smaller super-Earths from larger sub-Neptunes. This can be explained as an evaporation …

The mass budgets and spatial scales of exoplanet systems and protoplanetary disks

GD Mulders, I Pascucci, FJ Ciesla… - The Astrophysical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
Planets are born from disks of gas and dust, and observations of protoplanetary disks are
used to constrain the initial conditions of planet formation. However, dust mass …
