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.

Description Protoplanet observation study 
Organisation Imperial College London
Country United Kingdom 
Sector Academic/University 
PI Contribution I worked with researchers in Leicester and Imperial College London on a study to quantify the observability of long lived protoplanets with the ALMA telescope.
Collaborator Contribution To Haworth helped to review the paper and made suggestions using his in depth knowledge of the ALMA telescope.
