Disc-planet interactions during planet formation

Richard Nelson

 Queen Mary University of London


The talk will focus on the interaction between
the gaseous protoplanetary disc and embedded solid bodies
such as planetesimals, low mass protoplanets, and
forming gas giant planets. I will review the basic
results that apply when the disc has a simple laminar
structure, and discuss the results of recent simulations
that examine what happens when the disc supports MHD turbulence.
I will also present the results of recent simulations that
model the formation of terrestrial planets during the
migration of gas giant planets through the habitable zone.
