Relating planet formation to atmospheric composition has been a long-standing goal of the
planetary science community. So far, most modeling studies have focused on predicting the …

A primary goal of exoplanet characterization is to use a planet's current composition to
understand how that planet formed. For example, the C/O ratio has long been recognized as …

The origin of close-in giant planets is a key open question in planet formation theory. The
two leading models are (i) formation at the outer disk followed by migration and (ii) in situ …

The positive correlation between planet detection rate and host star iron abundance lends
strong support to the core accretion theory of planet formation. However, iron is not the most …

We discuss the chemical pre-conditions for planet formation, in terms of gas and ice
abundances in a protoplanetary disk, as function of time and position, and the resulting …

We present evidence that stars with planets exhibit statistically significant silicon and nickel
enrichment over the general metal-rich population. We also present simulations that predict …

The chemical composition of planetary atmospheres has long been thought to store
information regarding where and when a planet accretes its material. Predicting this …

Using Ockham's razor as a guide, we have tried to find the simplest model for the formation
of giant planets that can explain current observations of atmospheric composition. While this …

Context. The composition of exoplanet atmospheres provides us with vital insight into their
formation scenario. Conversely, planet formation processes shape the composition of …

To understand the role that planet formation history has on the observable atmospheric
carbon-to-oxygen ratio (C/O) we have produced a population of astrochemically evolving …
