Towards a Deterministic Model of Planetary Formation I: a Desert in the Mass and Semi Major Axis Distributions of Extra Solar Planets
In an attempt to develop a deterministic theory for planet formation, we examine the accretion of cores of giant planets from planetesimals, gas accretion onto the cores, and their orbital migration. We adopt a working model for nascent protostellar disks with a wide variety of surface density distributions in order to explore the range of diversity among extra solar planetary systems. We evalu...
متن کاملTheoretical planetary mass spectra – a prediction for COROT
The satellite COROT will search for close-in exo-planets around a few thousand stars using the transit search method. The COROT mission holds the promise of detecting numerous exo-planets. Together with radial velocity follow-up observations, the masses of the detected planets will be known. We have devised a method for predicting the expected planetary populations and compared it to the alread...
متن کاملTheoretical vs . semi - empirical relative ages of globular clusters
Theoretical relative ages of galactic globular clusters have recently been challenged by a semi-empirical relation. It was used to point out that tested sets of iso-chrones were unable to reproduce the relation and yield internally inconsistent relative ages. We find that differential cluster ages derived with the isochrones by Salaris & Weiss (1998) are reliable and internally consistent. We a...
متن کاملPlanetary formation in the γ Cephei system
We numerically investigate under which conditions the planet detected at 2.1 AU of γ Cephei could form through the core-accretion scenario despite the perturbing presence of the highly eccentric companion star. We first show that the initial stage of runaway accretion of kilometer-sized planetesimals is possible within 2.5 AU from the central star only if large amounts of gas are present. In th...
متن کاملConstraints on the formation mechanism of the planetary mass companion of 2 MASS 1207334 - 393254
In this paper we discuss the nature and the possible formation scenarios of the companion of the brown dwarf 2MASS 1207334-393254. We initially discuss the basic physical properties of this object and conclude that, although from its absolute mass (5MJup), it is a planetary object, in terms of its mass ratio q and of its separation a with respect to the primary brown dwarf, it is consistent wit...
