  1. 6. Cooling the Envelopes of Gas Giants : Accretion, structure formation and observability

    Författare :Matthäus Schulik; Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Planet formation; Hydrodynamics; Giant planets;

    Sammanfattning : We know now that discs of gas and dust, so-called protoplanetary discs, form planets as side-products of the naturally occurring star formation process throughout the Milky Way. Young, growing planets in such discs are commonly referred to as protoplanets. LÄS MER

  2. 7. High-contrast imaging of low-mass companions and debris disks

    Författare :Ruben Asensio Torres; Markus Janson; Subhanjoy Mohanty; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Direct imaging; extrasolar planets; debris disks; planet formation; high angular resolution; Astronomy; astronomi;

    Sammanfattning : The search for exoplanets, i.e., planets orbiting other stars than the Sun, is a relatively new research field, but has already established itself as one of the most prolific and intriguing areas of astronomy. LÄS MER

  3. 8. A Study of Jupiter Trojans

    Författare :Ola Karlsson; Claes-Ingvar Lagerkvist; Karri Muinonen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Jupiter Trojans; Trojan asteroids; Minor planets; Solar system;

    Sammanfattning : Jupiter Trojan asteroid dynamics have been studied for a long time but it is only within the last decades that the known population has become large enough to make other studies meaningful. In four articles I have been scratching the surface of the unknown Trojan knowledge space. LÄS MER

  4. 9. Disentangling the Early History of the Solar System

    Författare :Simona Pirani; Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; planets and satellites: formation; planets and satellites: dynamical evolution and stability; Kuiper belt: general;

    Sammanfattning : Giant planets form out of a disc of gas and dust – called protoplanetary disc -- that surrounded the protosun at the time of its formation. While the cores of giant planets were growing via planetesimal and pebble accretion, they started to interact with the gas in the protoplanetary disc. LÄS MER

  5. 10. Turbulence-Assisted Planetary Growth : Hydrodynamical Simulations of Accretion Disks and Planet Formation

    Författare :Wladimir Lyra; Nikolai Piskunov; Thomas Henning; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; accretion; accretion disks; hydrodynamics; instabilities; methods: numerical; solar system: formation; planets and satellites: formation; magnetohydrodynamics MHD ; turbulence; diffusion; stars: planetary systems: formation; Astronomy and astrophysics; Astronomi och astrofysik;

    Sammanfattning : The current paradigm in planet formation theory is developed around a hierarquical growth of solid bodies, from interstellar dust grains to rocky planetary cores. A particularly difficult phase in the process is the growth from meter-size boulders to planetary embryos of the size of our Moon or Mars. LÄS MER
