The growing body of observational data on extrasolar planets and protoplanetary disks has
stimulated intense research on planet formation and evolution in the past few years. The …

Planets, embedded in their natal discs, harbour hot envelopes. When pebbles are accreted
by these planets, the contained volatile components may sublimate, enriching the envelope …

Arc-and tail-like structures associated with disks around Herbig stars can be a consequence
of infall events occurring after the initial collapse phase of a forming star, consistent with the …

Empirical evidence of planets in gas-rich circumstellar discs is required to constrain giant
planet formation theories. Here we study the kinematic patterns which arise from planet–disc …

Circumplanetary disks (CPDs) may be essential to the formation of planets, regulating their
spin and accretion evolution. We perform a series of 3D hydrodynamics simulations in both …

We carried out 3D dust+ gas radiative hydrodynamic simulations of forming planets. We
investigated a parameter grid of a Neptune-mass, a Saturn-mass, a Jupiter-mass, and a five …

Circumplanetary disks (CPDs) regulate the late accretion to the giant planet and serve as
the birthplace for satellites. Understanding their characteristics via simulations also helps to …

The migration of planets on nearly circular, non-inclined orbits in protoplanetary discs is
entirely described by the disc's torque. This torque is a complex function of the disc …

In radiatively inefficient, laminar protoplanetary discs, embedded planets can excite a
buoyancy response as gas gets deflected vertically near the planet. This results in vertical …

We present simulations of low-mass planet–disc interactions in inviscid three-dimensional
discs. We show that a wind-driven laminar accretion flow through the surface layers of the …
