Abstract: Super-Earths are by far the most dominant type of exoplanet, yet their formation is still not well understood. In particular, planet formation models predict that many of them should have accreted enough gas to become… read more here.

Abstract: The composition of forming planets is strongly affected by the protoplanetary disc’s thermal structure. This thermal structure is predominantly set by dust radiative transfer and viscous (accretional) heating and can be impacted by gaps –… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/sty2267
Abstract: Recent observations of several protoplanetary discs have found evidence of departures from flat, circular motion in the inner regions of the disc. One possible explanation for these observations is a disc warp, which could be… read more here.
