Intermediate-mass stars (IMSs) represent the link between low-mass and high-mass stars,
and cover a key mass range for giant planet formation. In this paper, we present a …

In this paper, we consider a new mechanism for stopping the inward migration of a low-mass
planet embedded in a gaseous protoplanetary disc. It operates when a low-mass planet (for …

We perform three-dimensional self-gravitating radiative transfer simulations of protoplanet
migration in circumstellar discs to explore the impact upon migration of the radial …

The recent increase in number of known multi-planet systems gives a unique opportunity to
study the processes responsible for planetary formation and evolution. Special attention is …

We study the torque acting on a planet embedded in an optically thick accretion disc, using
global two-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations. The temperature of an optically thick …

Protoplanetary disks control the formation and evolution of planets, in reaction the planets
also influence the disk structure. Disk gas and dust are the building materials of planets …
