Since Protostars and Planets VI (PPVI), our knowledge of the global properties of
protoplanetary and debris disks, as well as of young stars, has dramatically improved. At the …

The detection and characterization of large populations of pebbles in protoplanetary disks
have motivated the study of pebble accretion as a driver of planetary growth. This review …

Abstract 'Hot super-Earths'(or 'mini-Neptunes') between one and four times Earth's size with
period shorter than 100 d orbit 30–50 per cent of Sun-like stars. Their orbital configuration …

The growth of a planetary core by pebble accretion stops at the so-called pebble isolation
mass, when the core generates a pressure bump that traps drifting pebbles outside its orbit …

Gas kinematics are an important part of the planet formation process. Turbulence influences
planetesimal growth and migration from the scale of submicron dust grains through gas …

The evolution of protoplanetary discs and the related process of planet formation is
regulated by angular momentum transport and mass-loss processes. Over the past decade …

The solid content of circumstellar disks is inherited from the interstellar medium: dust
particles of at most a micrometer in size. Protoplanetary disks are the environment where …

Recent observations of extrasolar gas giants suggest super-stellar C/O ratios in planetary
atmospheres, while interior models of observed extrasolar giant planets additionally suggest …

We present a comprehensive evolutionary model of the Sun's protoplanetary disk,
constructed to resolve the" CAI storage problem" of meteoritics. We predict the abundances …

Turbulence is a fundamental parameter in models of grain growth during the early stages of
planet formation. As such, observational constraints on its magnitude are crucial. Here we …
