1. Cooling the Envelopes of Gas Giants : Accretion, structure formation and observability
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. The Effects of Encounters on Planetary Systems in Stellar Clusters
Sammanfattning : Extrasolar planets are found to be on orbits very different from those of the planets in the solar system. Gas-giant planets have been found on orbits tighter than that of the planet Mercury, often with very high eccentricities. LÄS MER
3. The Formation of Giant Planets
Sammanfattning : Giant planets form embedded in a protoplanetary disc around a young star. Close to the midplane a large fraction of the available mass in solids is found in particles of cm to dm in size, which drift towards the star due to friction with the surrounding gas. LÄS MER
4. Astrophysical impacts on habitable planetary systems
Sammanfattning : Finding life on a planet other than the Earth would easily be one of the greatest discoveries of all time, particularly so if it is found outside our Solar System. To do so, we must understand the conditions required for life to emerge and develop. LÄS MER
