Already the Ancient...
…had a good theory of
star and planet formation
Some of the earliest recorded physics
was very far-sighted &
essentially correct!
Predicted: evolution (formation/decay), role of
disks, and diversity of “worlds”=planets.
Atomists (Ionian materialists) devoted 50% of their
philosophy to cosmos, not microcosmos

? NASA's goal
From: Diogenes Laertius,  (3rd cn. A.D.), IX.31
“The worlds come into being as follows: many bodies of all sorts and shapes move
from the infinite into a great void; they come together there and produce a single
whirl, in which, colliding with one another and revolving in all manner of ways, they
begin to separate like to like.”
Leucippus
(Solar nebula of Kant & Laplace A.D. 1755-1776? Accretion disk?)
“There are innumerable worlds which differ in size.
In some worlds there is no Sun and Moon, in others they are larger than in our world,
and in others more numerous. (...) in some parts they are arising, in others failing.
They are destroyed by collision with one another. There are some worlds devoid of
living creatures or plants or any moisture.”
Democritus
(Planets predicted: around pulsars, binary stars, close to stars?)
There are infinite worlds both like and unlike this world of ours. For the atoms
being infinite in number (...) there nowhere exists an obstacle to the infinite number
od worlds.
Epicurus (341-270 B.C.)
(...) it follows that
there cannot be more worlds than one.
Aristotle [On the Heavens]
Aristotle's work rediscovered and enthusiastically
accepted during the 12th century Renaissance at the
Plato and Aristotle new universities (Paris, Oxford)
e.g., Roger Bacon (1214-1292) cites the impossibility of
vacuum between the hypothetical multiple worlds.
Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) also accepts Aristotle's
arguments about impossibility of other worlds, despite
a growing controversy within Church.
Obviously, a very ancient and
worthy quest…
…as well as controversial
OTHER WORLDS: the pendulum starts swinging
Franciscans: God can create other worlds.
Idea of Earth's uniqueness censored under the threat of
excommunication :
In 1277 bishop of Paris, Etienne Tempier, officially condemns 219 passages from
Aristotle taught at universities, among others that "the First Cause cannot make
many worlds".
Many supporters of other worlds, e.g., William of Ockham (ca.1280-1347).
Mikolaj Kopernik's heliocentric system (1543) seen as supporting other worlds.
Giordano Bruno: infinite number of inhabited terrestrial planets. Burned at
stake 1600 by Holy Roman Inquisition (though not predominantly for that!).
William of Vorilong (ca. 1450) thought that it is "not fitting" for Christ to go to
another world to die again. And there is no mention of other worlds in Scriptures.
Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) did not believe that stars are distant suns or that
they may have planets.
And so on, until the end of 20th century came...

Photoevaporation is like boiling off gas by striking
the hydrogen atoms with UV photons, kicking
electrons and ions, and raising local kT to conditions
resembling HII regions.
Photoevaporation only works in regions where
gravitational binding energy is less than kT:
outer parts of cloud complexes, far-away disk regions
gravitational binding = grav.potential well’s depth =
-GM(r)/r

In the secular pertubation theory, semi-major axes
(energies) are constant (as a result of averaging over time).
Eccentricities and orbit misalignment vary, such as
to conserve the angular momentum and energy of the
system.

N-body (planet-planet) or disk-planet interaction?
Conclusions from modeling Ups And
1. Secular perturbation theory and numerical
calculations spanning 2 Gyr do agree.
2. The apsidal “resonance” (co-evolution) is expected
and observed to be strong, and stabilizes the system
of two nearby, massive planets
3. There are no mean motion resonances
4. The present state lasted since formation period
5. Eccentricities in inverse relation to masses,
contrary to normal N-body trend tendency for equipartition.
Alternative: a lost most massive planet - very unlikely

SPH (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics)
Jupiter in a solar nebula (z/r=0.02) launches waves at LRs.
The two views are (left) Cartesian, and (right) polar coordinates.
Inner and Outer Lindblad resonances in an SPH disk with a jupiter
Illustration of nominal positions of Lindblad resonances (obtained
by WKB approximation. The nominal positions coincide with the mean motion
resonances of the type m:(m+-1) in celestial mechanics, which doesn’t include
pressure.) Nominal radii converge toward the planet’s semi-major axis at high
azimuthal numbers m, causing problems with torque calculation (infinities!).
On the other hand, the pressure-shifted positions are the effective LR
positions, shown by the green arrows. They yield finite total LR torque.
Wave excitation at Lindblad resonances (roughly speaking,
places in disk in mean motion resonance, or commensurability
of periods, with the perturbing planet) is the basis of the
calculation of torques (and energy transfer) between the
perturber and the disk. Finding precise locations of LRs is
thus a prerequisite for computing the orbital evolution of a
satellite or planet interacting with a disk.
LR locations can be found by setting radial wave number
k_r = 0 in dispersion relation of small-amplitude, m-armed,
waves in a disk.
[Wave vector has radial component k_r and azimuthal
component k_theta = m/r]
This location corresponds to a boundary between the wavy and
the evanescent regions of a disk. Radial wavelength, 2*pi/k_r,
becomes formally infinite at LR.
LR locations are found from setting k_r = 0 in dispersion
relation, which in a Keplerian disk reads (using W for
Omega, the angular speed of disk material):
W^2 - m^2 (W - W_p)^2 + c^2 (k_r^2 + m^2/r^2) = 0
where W_p is the pattern speed of waves, e.g. equal to the
orbital frequency of the planet if it’s orbit is circular.
In the pre-1993 theories, it was assumed that waves satisfy
WKB relationship k_r>>m/r, and so the m^2/r^2 term was
neglected, which resulted in the following condition for W
(or W_LR):
W_LR = W_p m/(m+-1)
(the + sign for OLR, - for ILR).
But can we neglect the azimuthal component of the wave vector?

--> m(z/r)
Conclusion about eccentricity:
As long as there is some gas in the corotational region
(say, +- 20% of orbital radius of a jupiter),
eccentricity is strongly damped.
Only if and when the gap becomes so wide that the
near-lying LRs are eliminated, eccentricity is excited.
(==> planets larger than 10 m_jup were predicted to
be on eccentric orbits (Artymowicz 1992).
In practice, this may account for intermediate-e exoplanets.
For extremely high e’s we need N-body explanation:
perturbations by stars, or other planets.

What does the permeability of gaps teach us about
our own Jupiter:
- Jupiter was potentially able to grow to 5-10 m_j, if left
accreting from a standard solar nebula for ~1 Myr
- the most likely reason why it didn’t:
the nebula was already disappearing and not enough mass
was available.
Numerical Troubles:
resolution
grav. softening
and zones where torques are ignored
self-gravity of gas (neglected)
gas heating (and other effects)
the usual troubles: boundary conditions, instabilities, unexplained
crashes,
the unusual troubles: extreme vortex production and/or variability of
flow in some codes

Consider a one-sided disk (inner disk only). The rapid inward migration is
OPPOSITE to the expectation based on shepherding (Lindblad resonances).
Like in the well-known problem of “sinking satellites” (small satellite galaxies
merging with the target disk galaxies),
Corotational torques cause rapid inward sinking.
(Gas is trasferred from orbits inside the perturber to the outside.
To conserve angular momentum, satellite moves in.)
Now consider the opposite case of an inner hole in the disk.
Unlike in the shepherding case, the planet rapidly migrates outwards.
Here, the situation is an inward-outward reflection of the sinking satellite problem.
Disk gas traveling on hairpin (half-horeseshoe) orbits fills the inner void and moves the planet
out rapidly (type III outward migration). Lindblad resonances produce spiral waves and try to
move the planet in, but lose with CR torques.


N-body simulations, N~1000 (Edgar & Artymowicz 2004)
A quiet disk of sub-Earth mass bodies reacts to the rapid
passage of a much larger protoplanet (migration speed =
input parameter).
Results show increase of velocity dispersion/inclinations
and limited reshuffling of material in the terrestrial zone.
Migration type III too fast to trap bodies in mean-motion
resonances and push them toward the star
Evidence of the passage can be obliterated by gas drag on
the time scale << Myr ---> passage of a pre-jupiter
planet(s) not exluded dynamically.
Summary of type-III migration




New type, sometimes extremely rapid (timescale < 1000
years). CRs >> LRs
Direction depends on prior history, not just on disk properties.
Supersedes a much slower, standard type-II migration in disks
more massive than planets
Very sensitive to disk density gradients.
Migration stops on disk features (rings, edges and/or
substantial density gradients.) Such edges seem natural (dead
zone boundaries, magnetospheric inner disk cavities,
formation-caused radial disk structure)
Offers possibility of survival of giant planets at intermediate
distances (0.1 - 1 AU),
...and of terrestrial planets during the passage of a giant planet
on its way to the star.
If type I superseded by type III then these conclusions apply to
cores as well, not only giant protoplanets.
1. Early dispersal of the primordial nebula ==> no material, no mobility
2. Late formation (including Last Mohican scenario)
