DOI: 10.1016/j.icarus.2019.113417
Abstract: Abstract The dynamically hot and cold populations of the Kuiper Belt probably formed from two distinct regions of the Solar System. The former originated from a massive planetesimal disk extending from the primordial position of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2019eo127841
Abstract: Once thought to be part of the same population, planets larger than Jupiter and “failed stars” likely grow via different mechanisms, the Gemini Planet Imager Exoplanet Survey has shown. read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stab2419
Abstract: With N-body simulations, we model terrestrial circumbinary planet (CBP) formation with an initial surface density profile motivated by hydrodynamic circumbinary gas disc simulations. The binary plays an important role in shaping the initial distribution of… read more here.

Filling in the gaps: Can gravitationally unstable discs form the seeds of gas giant planets?

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stad1564
Abstract: Circumstellar discs likely have a short window when they are self-gravitating and prone to the effects of disc instability, but during this time the seeds of planet formation can be sown. It has long been… read more here.

Zero age planetary orbit of gas giant planets revisited: reinforcement of the link with stellar metallicity
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society"
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stw2592
Abstract: In 2005 we suggested a relation between the optimal locus of gas giant planet formation, prior to migration, and the metallicity of the host star, based on the core accretion model and radial profiles of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stz1141
Abstract: We present the discovery of a pair of transiting giant planets using four sectors of TESS photometry. TOI-216 is a 0.87 M⊙ dwarf orbited by two transiters with radii of 8.2 and 11.3 R⊕, and periods of… read more here.
