The planet nine hypothesis
Over the course of the past two decades, observational surveys have unveiled the intricate
orbital structure of the Kuiper Belt, a field of icy bodies orbiting the Sun beyond Neptune. In …

Age of Jupiter inferred from the distinct genetics and formation times of meteorites
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 …

Breaking the chains: hot super-Earth systems from migration and disruption of compact resonant chains
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 …

A stellar mass dependence of structured disks: a possible link with exoplanet demographics
N van der Marel, GD Mulders - The Astronomical Journal, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
Gaps in protoplanetary disks have long been hailed as signposts of planet formation.
However, a direct link between exoplanets and disks remains hard to identify. We present a …

Formation of planetary systems by pebble accretion and migration: growth of gas giants
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 …

An increase in the mass of planetary systems around lower-mass stars
GD Mulders, I Pascucci, D Apai - The Astrophysical Journal, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
Trends in the planet population with host star mass provide an avenue to constrain planet
formation theories. We derive the planet radius distribution function for Kepler stars of …

Formation of planetary systems by pebble accretion and migration-Hot super-Earth systems from breaking compact resonant chains
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 …
