Virtual Event"Planet Formation Post-Kepler"
Abstract: The message of the Kepler space mission is this: super-Earths abound in the Universe. These are planets ~1--4 Earth radii and ~1--20 Earth masses, composed of solids and gas in proportions of 100:1 by mass. We describe how super-Earths/sub-Neptunes form: the assembly of their rocky cores, the accretion of their atmospheres, and the distribution of their orbits inside and outside of mean-motion resonances.
