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 …

The interiors of Uranus and Neptune: current understanding and open questions
R Helled, JJ Fortney - Philosophical Transactions of the …, 2020 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Uranus and Neptune form a distinct class of planets in our Solar System. Given this fact, and
ubiquity of similar-mass planets in other planetary systems, it is essential to understand their …

[HTML][HTML] The nature of the TRAPPIST-1 exoplanets
Context. The TRAPPIST-1 system hosts seven Earth-sized, temperate exoplanets orbiting an
ultra-cool dwarf star. As such, it represents a remarkable setting to study the formation and …

The New Generation Planetary Population Synthesis (NGPPS)-I. Bern global model of planet formation and evolution, model tests, and emerging planetary systems
Context. The explosion of observational data on exoplanets gives many constraints on
theoretical models of planet formation and evolution. Observational data probe very large …

Compositional imprints in density–distance–time: a rocky composition for close-in low-mass exoplanets from the location of the valley of evaporation
S Jin, C Mordasini - The Astrophysical Journal, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
We use an end-to-end model of planet formation, thermodynamic evolution, and
atmospheric escape to investigate how the statistical imprints of evaporation depend on the …

Planetary population synthesis coupled with atmospheric escape: a statistical view of evaporation
We apply hydrodynamic evaporation models to different synthetic planet populations that
were obtained from a planet formation code based on the core-accretion paradigm. We …

A remnant planetary core in the hot-Neptune desert
The interiors of giant planets remain poorly understood. Even for the planets in the Solar
System, difficulties in observation lead to large uncertainties in the properties of planetary …

The New Generation Planetary Population Synthesis (NGPPS)-II. Planetary population of solar-like stars and overview of statistical results
Context. Planetary formation and evolution is a combination of multiple interlinked
processes. Constraining the mechanisms observationally requires statistical comparison to …

AQUA: a collection of H2O equations of state for planetary models
J Haldemann, Y Alibert, C Mordasini… - Astronomy & …, 2020 - aanda.org
Context. Water is one of the key chemical elements in planetary structure modelling. Due to
its complex phase diagram, equations of state often only cover parts of the pressure …

A generalized Bayesian inference method for constraining the interiors of super Earths and sub-Neptunes
Aims. We aim to present a generalized Bayesian inference method for constraining interiors
of super Earths and sub-Neptunes. Our methodology succeeds in quantifying the …
