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 …

Discs of gas and dust around million-year-old stars are a by-product of the star formation
process and provide the raw material to form planets. Hence, their evolution and dispersal …

The age of Jupiter, the largest planet in our Solar System, is still unknown. Gas-giant planet
formation likely involved the growth of large solid cores, followed by the accumulation of gas …

The Juno spacecraft has measured Jupiter's low‐order, even gravitational moments, J2–J8,
to an unprecedented precision, providing important constraints on the density profile and …

Annular structures (rings and gaps) in disks around pre-main-sequence stars have been
detected in abundance towards class II protostellar objects that are approximately 1,000,000 …

A few studies have reported a significant dearth of exoplanets with Neptune mass and
radius with orbital periods below 2–4 d. This cannot be explained by observational biases …

Hot Jupiters, giant extrasolar planets with orbital periods shorter than∼ 10 days, have long
been thought to form at large radial distances, only to subsequently experience long-range …

Aims. We study the dependence of protoplanetary disk evolution on stellar mass using a
large sample of young stellar objects in nearby young star-forming regions. Methods. We …

Over the past two decades, large strides have been made in the field of planet formation. Yet
fundamental questions remain. Here we review our state of understanding of five …

Abstract We present Atacama Large Millimeter and Submillimeter Array observations of the
protoplanetary disk around the Herbig Ae star HD 163296 that trace the spatial distribution …
