Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

Description | Collaboration with University of Edinburgh, University of Zurich and API in Amsterdam |
Organisation | ETH Zurich |
Country | Switzerland |
Sector | Academic/University |
PI Contribution | Worked with Mariangela Bonavita, Allona Vazan and Ravit Helled to produce state-of-the-art populations synthesis models of gravitational instability planet formation in order to constrain its occurence rate. Pubished in Humphries et al 2019. |
Collaborator Contribution | Allona and Ravit provided intensive 1D models of protoplanet contraction that made this project possible. Mariangella used her innovative QMESS code to statistically asses our fina population parameter space. |
