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 …

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

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 …
