TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview of the challenge and promise of detecting terrestrial-to-Neptune-sized planets (1 < R < 4 REarth) around nearby stars.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Fragmentation Mechanism
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of theoretical models of fragmentation based on numerical hydrodynamical calculations in three spatial dimensions, using both finite-difference and smoothed particle hydroynamics techniques, is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimized modelling of Gaia-Hipparcos astrometry for the detection of the smallest cold Jupiter and confirmation of seven low-mass companions
Fabo Feng,Fabo Feng,R. Paul Butler,Hugh R. A. Jones,Mark W. Phillips,Steven S. Vogt,Rebecca Oppenheimer,Bradford P. Holden,J. Burt,Alan P. Boss +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the accepted manuscript version of an article which has been published in final form at https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stab2225.
Nonaxisymmetry in the Solar Nebula: Disk Evolution or Giant Gaseous Protoplanet Formation?
TL;DR: In this article, a 3D hydrodynamics model of a 2D protoplanetary disk with a mass of N 0.14Mo was proposed to predict the formation of terrestrial and giant gaseous protoplanets.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Effect of the Approach to Gas Disk Gravitational Instability on the Rapid Formation of Gas Giant Planets
TL;DR: In this article, initial disk masses of 0.091$M_\odot$ extending from 4 to 20 au around a 1 $M_ ǫ -proto-probstar were presented, with a range (1 to 100) of $\beta$ cooling parameters.
