1. 1. The Milky Way and its Exoplanets

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

   Author : Jesper Nielsen; [2021]
   Keywords : Planets and Satellites; Exoplanets; Occurrence Rates; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : The detections of over 4000 exoplanets as of today has shown that they exist in a wide range of different configurations, otherwise known as architectures. Recently, studies have been made trying to link the environment of host stars to the architectures of their planetary systems and have found that the architectures of planetary systems may not necessarily be uniform in the Milky Way.

3. 2. Planet migration in evolving protoplanetary discs

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

   Author : Linn Eriksson; [2018]
   Keywords : Planets and satellites: formation; Protoplanetary discs: evolution; Planet-disc interactions; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : The rate of migration and accretion onto protoplanets is greatly influenced by the structure of the surrounding protoplanetary disc. This structure changes with time as the disc evolves on a million year timescale, implying that the process of planet formation might look very different depending on when it was initiated. READ MORE
