In research published this week in Astrophysical Journal Letters, Dr Zoe Leinhardt and colleagues from Bristol's School of Physics have completed computer simulations of the early stages of planet formation around the binary stars using a sophisticated model that calculates the effect of gravity and physical collisions on and between one million planetary building blocks.

The new study suggests that the «hot Jupiter» WASP - 18b, a massive planet that orbits very close to its host star, has an unusual composition, and the formation of this world might have been quite different from that of Jupiter as well as gas giants in other planetary systems.

Leftover gas from the formation of the sun may have persisted into the era of planetary precursors, Holland and his co-authors note, so the dual capture of solar gas in and around planets is plausible enough.

Because the interiors of icy planetary bodies might also be salty, due to interactions between the ice and the surrounding rocks or a liquid ocean, lead author Livia Eleonora Bove of the CNRS & Université Pierre et Marie Curie in France and the Ecole Polytechnique Federal de Lausanne in Switzerland and the rest of the team studied the effects of salts on the formation of the ice X from ice VII.

The orbits of Star A's planetary system appears to have suffered from a major disturbance since the formation of its planets, when compared with planetary orbits found in the Solar System (more).

This new technique provides a way to measure the true mass of a planet since both light from the star and the planet are detected, which can provide more accurate insights about the planet's formation and the evolution of its planetary system.

This new finding is important because it's one of the first exoplanets in this mass range that lies beyond the «snow line» — the distance during formation of a planetary system beyond which ice can form from water, ammonia, and methane.

The Origins Seminar series aim to bring together ISM, star and planet formation people, exoplanets experts, planetary scientists and astrobiologists including topics from molecular clouds through star and planet formation to exoplanets detection and characterization and astrobiology.

Models of planetary formation suggest that giant extrasolar planets detected very near their stars formed at greater distances and migrated inward as a result of gravitational interactions with remnants of the circumstellar disks from which they accumulated.

John has a broad range of research interests designed to understand the formation and evolution of stars from their origin in molecular clouds to the development of mature planetary systems.

Previous infrared missions, from IRAS to Herschel, have revealed a great deal about the obscured... ▽ More Measurements in the infrared wavelength domain allow us to assess directly the physical state and energy balance of cool matter in space, thus enabling the detailed study of the various processes that govern the formation and early evolution of stars and planetary systems in galaxies over cosmic time.

With this exceptional leap in performance, new domains in infrared astronomy will become accessible, allowing us, for example, to unravel definitively galaxy evolution and metal production over cosmic time, to study dust formation and evolution from very early epochs onwards, and to trace the formation history of planetary systems.
