Conditions for outward migration
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 November 2011
Abstract
The migration of protoplanets in discs not only depends on the thermodynamics of the ambient disc but also on the orbital parameters of the embedded planet. In the fully radiative regime, planets can migrate outward if their orbital parameters fit in a very small range. We simulate planets in fully radiative discs (and isothermal discs - for reference) and determine the influence of the orbital parameters (a, e and i) and the planetary mass on the migration time scale and direction.
