Dust settling and rapid planetary migration
Abstract
Planetary migration is essential to explain the observed mass–period relation for exoplanets. Without some stopping mechanism, the tidal, resonant interaction between planets and their gaseous disc generally causes the planets to migrate inward so efficiently that they plunge into the host star within the gaseous disc lifetime (∼1–3 Myr). We investigate planetary migration by analytically calculating the migration rate and time within …
