The disks that orbit young stars are the essential conduits and reservoirs of material for star
and planet formation. Their structures, meaning the spatial variations of the disk physical …

Our understanding of planet formation has been rapidly evolving in recent years. The
classical planet formation theory, developed when the only known planetary system was our …

Super-Earths–planets with sizes between the Earth and Neptune–are found in tighter orbits
than that of the Earth around more than one third of main sequence stars. It has been …

Understanding planet formation requires one to discern how dust grows in protoplanetary
disks. An important parameter to measure in disks is the maximum dust grain size present …

Giant planets migrate though the protoplanetary disc as they grow their solid core and attract
their gaseous envelope. Previously, we have studied the growth and migration of an isolated …

Context. Understanding the diversity of planets requires studying the morphology and
physical conditions in the protoplanetary disks in which they form. Aims. We aim to study the …

Nucleosynthetic isotope variability among Solar System objects is often used to probe the
genetic relationship between meteorite groups and the rocky planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth …

At least 30% of main sequence stars host planets with sizes of between 1 and 4 Earth radii
and orbital periods of less than 100 days. We use N-body simulations including a model for …

The most abundant components of primitive meteorites (chondrites) are millimeter-sized
glassy spherical chondrules formed by transient melting events in the solar protoplanetary …

We investigate the observational signatures of super-Earths (ie, planets with Earth-to-
Neptune mass), which are the most common type of exoplanet discovered to date, in their …
