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 …

Constraining planet formation based on the atmospheric composition of exoplanets is a
fundamental goal of the exoplanet community. Existing studies commonly try to constrain …

The size of a planet is an observable property directly connected to the physics of its
formation and evolution. We used precise radius measurements from the California-Kepler …

Context. Previous theoretical works on planet formation around low-mass stars have often
been limited to large planets and individual systems. As current surveys routinely detect …

The origin and evolution of planetary protoatmospheres in relation to the protoplanetary disk
is discussed. The initial atmospheres of planets can mainly be related via two formation …

The orbital distribution of giant planets is crucial for understanding how terrestrial planets
form and predicting yields of exoplanet surveys. Here, we derive giant planets occurrence …

The existence of a radius valley in the Kepler size distribution stands as one of the most
important observational constraints to understand the origin and composition of exoplanets …

Context. Recent years have seen building evidence that planet formation starts early, in the
first~ 0.5 Myr. Studying the dust masses available in young disks enables us to understand …

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 …

The composition of a planet's atmosphere is determined by its formation, evolution, and
present-day insolation. A planet's spectrum therefore may hold clues on its origins. We …
