Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA): Planets, Oscillations, Rotation, and Massive Stars
Bill Paxton,Matteo Cantiello,Phil Arras,Lars Bildsten,Edward F. Brown,Aaron Dotter,Christopher R. Mankovich,Michael H. Montgomery,Dennis Stello,Francis Timmes,Richard H. D. Townsend +10 more
TL;DR: Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA) as discussed by the authors is an open source software package for modeling the evolution of stellar structures and composition. But it is not suitable for large-scale systems such as supernovae.

Origin of the orbital architecture of the giant planets of the Solar System.
Kleomenis Tsiganis,Rodney S. Gomes,Rodney S. Gomes,Alessandro Morbidelli,Harold F. Levison,Harold F. Levison +5 more
TL;DR: This model reproduces all the important characteristics of the giant planets' orbits, namely their final semimajor axes, eccentricities and mutual inclinations, provided that Jupiter and Saturn crossed their 1:2 orbital resonance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stellar Multiplicity
Gaspard Duchêne,Adam L. Kraus +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarize the current empirical knowledge of stellar multiplicity for Main Sequence stars and brown dwarfs, as well as among populations of Pre-Main Sequence stars, and embedded protostars.
Journal ArticleDOI
Three-Dimensional Interaction between a Planet and an Isothermal Gaseous Disk. I. Corotation and Lindblad Torques and Planet Migration
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the torque on a planet and the resultant radial migration of the planet during its formation in a protoplanetary disk and derived a general torque formula for corotation resonances, which is also applicable to 2D disks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spectroscopic [Fe/H] for 98 extra-solar planet-host stars. Exploring the probability of planet formation
TL;DR: In this paper, stellar parameters and metallicities for a large sample of 98 stars known to be orbited by planetary mass companions (almost all known targets), as well as for a volume-limited sample of 41 stars not known to host any planet were presented.

Composition and radiative properties of grains in molecular clouds and accretion disks
James B. Pollack,David Hollenbach,Steven V. W. Beckwith,Damon P. Simonelli,Ted L. Roush,Wesley Fong +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors defined a model of the compositon and abundances of grains and gases in molecular cloud cores and accretion disks around young stars by employing a wide range of astronomical data and theory, the composition of primitive bodies in the solar system, and solar elemental abundances.
Journal ArticleDOI
The distribution of mass in the planetary system and solar nebula
TL;DR: In this paper, a model of the solar nebula is constructed by adding the solar complement of light elements to each planet, using recent models of planetary compositions, and uncertainties in this approach are estimated.
Journal Article
Low Temperature Rosseland Opacities.
TL;DR: In this paper, a new set of low-temperature opacity data has been assembled, and from this basic data set, Rosseland and Planck mean opacities have been computed for temperatures between 12,500 and 700 K. In addition to the usual continuous absorbers, atomic line absorption, molecular line absorption and grain absorption and scattering (by silicates, iron, carbon, and SiC) have been accounted for.

Formation of the Giant Planets
TL;DR: In this paper, the structure of a gaseous envelope surrounding a protoplanet has been investigated in connection with the formation of the giant planets, and the most remarkable result is that a common relation between the core mass and the total mass holds irrespectively of the regions in the solar nebula.
