Measured disk masses seem to be too low to form the observed population of planetary systems. In this context, we develop a population synthesis code in the pebble accretion scenario, to analyse the disk mass dependence on planet formation around low mass stars. We base our model on the analytical sequential model presented in Ormel et al. 2017 and analyse the populations resulting from varying initial disk mass distributions. Starting out with seeds the mass of Ceres near the ice-line formed by streaming instability, we grow the planets using the Pebble Accretion process and migrate them inwards using Type-I migration. The next planets are formed sequentially after the previous planet crosses the ice-line. We explore different initial distributions of disk masses to show the dependence of this parameter with the final planetary population. Our results show that compact close-in resonant systems can be pretty common around M-dwarfs between $0.09-0.2$ $M_{odot}$ only when the disks considered are more massive than what is being observed by sub-mm disk surveys. The minimum disk mass to form a Mars-like planet is found to be about $2 times 10^{-3}$ $M_{odot}$. Small variation in the disk mass distribution also manifest in the simulated planet distribution. The paradox of disk masses might be caused by an underestimation of the disk masses in observations, by a rapid depletion of mass in disks by planets growing within a million years or by deficiencies in our current planet formation picture.

We conduct a pebble-driven planet population synthesis study to investigate the formation of planets around very low-mass stars and brown dwarfs, in the (sub)stellar mass range between $0.01 M_{odot}$ and $0.1 M_{odot}$. Based on the extrapolation
of numerical simulations of planetesimal formation by the streaming instability, we obtain the characteristic mass of the planetesimals and the initial masses of the protoplanets (largest bodies from the planetesimal size distributions), in either the early self-gravitating phase or the later non-self-gravitating phase of the protoplanetary disk evolution. We find that the initial protoplanets form with masses that increase with host mass, orbital distance and decrease with disk age. Around late M-dwarfs of $0.1 M_{odot}$, these protoplanets can grow up to Earth-mass planets by pebble accretion. However, around brown dwarfs of $0.01 M_{odot}$, planets do not grow larger than Mars mass when the initial protoplanets are born early in self-gravitating disks, and their growth stalls at around $0.01$ Earth-mass when they are born late in non-self-gravitating disks. Around these low mass stars and brown dwarfs, we find no channel for gas giant planet formation because the solid cores remain too small. When the initial protoplanets form only at the water-ice line, the final planets typically have ${gtrsim} 15%$ water mass fraction. Alternatively, when the initial protoplanets form log-uniformly distributed over the entire protoplanetary disk, the final planets are either very water-rich (water mass fraction ${gtrsim}15%$) or entirely rocky (water mass fraction ${lesssim}5%$).
The growing database of exoplanets have shown us the statistical characteristics of various exoplanet populations, providing insight towards their origins. Observational evidence suggests that the process by which gas giants are conceived in the stel
lar disk may be disparate from that of smaller planets. Using NASAs Exoplanet Archive, we analyzed a correlation between the planet mass and stellar metallicity of low-mass exoplanets (MP < 0.13 MJ) orbiting spectral class G, K, and M stars. The correlation suggests an exponential law relationship between the two that is not fully explained by observation biases alone.
Models of terrestrial planet formation for our solar system have been successful in producing planets with masses and orbits similar to those of Venus and Earth. However, these models have generally failed to produce Mars-sized objects around 1.5 AU.
The body that is usually formed around Mars semimajor axis is, in general, much more massive than Mars. Only when Jupiter and Saturn are assumed to have initially very eccentric orbits (e $sim$ 0.1), which seems fairly unlikely for the solar system, or alternately, if the protoplanetary disk is truncated at 1.0 AU, simulations have been able to produce Mars-like bodies in the correct location. In this paper, we examine an alternative scenario for the formation of Mars in which a local depletion in the density of the protosolar nebula results in a non-uniform formation of planetary embryos and ultimately the formation of Mars-sized planets around 1.5 AU. We have carried out extensive numerical simulations of the formation of terrestrial planets in such a disk for different scales of the local density depletion, and for different orbital configurations of the giant planets. Our simulations point to the possibility of the formation of Mars-sized bodies around 1.5 AU, specifically when the scale of the disk local mass-depletion is moderately high (50-75%) and Jupiter and Saturn are initially in their current orbits. In these systems, Mars-analogs are formed from the protoplanetary materials that originate in the regions of disk interior or exterior to the local mass-depletion. Results also indicate that Earth-sized planets can form around 1 AU with a substantial amount of water accreted via primitive water-rich planetesimals and planetary embryos. We present the results of our study and discuss their implications for the formation of terrestrial planets in our solar system.
We report our current SMA and ALMA studies of disk and planet formation around protostars. We have revealed that $r gtrsim$100 AU scale disks in Keplerian rotation are ubiquitous around Class I sources. These Class I Keplerian disks are often embedde
d in rotating and infalling protostellar envelopes. The infalling speeds of the protostellar envelopes are typically $sim$ 3-times smaller than the free-fall velocities, and the rotational profiles follow the $r^{-1}$ profile, that is, rotation with the conserved specific angular momentum. Our latest high-resolution ($sim$0$farcs$5) ALMA studies, as well as the other studies in the literature, have unveiled that $r sim$100-AU scale Keplerian disks are also present in several Class 0 protostars, while in the other Class 0 sources the inferred upper limits of the Keplerian disks are very small ($r lessim$20 AU). Our recent data analyses of the ALMA long baseline data of the Class I-II source HL Tau have revealed gaps in molecular gas as well as in dust in the surrounding disk, suggesting the presence of sub-Jovian planets in the disk. These results imply that disk and planet formation should be completed in the protostellar stage.
When a planet becomes massive enough, it gradually carves a partial gap around its orbit in the protoplanetary disk. A pressure maximum can be formed outside the gap where solids that are loosely coupled to the gas, typically in the pebble size range
, can be trapped. The minimum planet mass for building such a trap, which is called the pebble isolation mass (PIM), is important for two reasons: it marks the end of planetary growth by pebble accretion, and the trapped dust forms a ring that may be observed with millimetre observations. We study the effect of disk turbulence on the pebble isolation mass and find its dependence on the gas turbulent viscosity, aspect ratio, and particles Stokes number. By means of 2D gas hydrodynamical simulations, we found the minimum planet mass to form a radial pressure maximum beyond the orbit of the planet, which is the necessary condition to trap pebbles. We then carried out 2D gas plus dust hydrodynamical simulations to examine how dust turbulent diffusion impacts particles trapping at the pressure maximum. We finally provide a semi-analytical calculation of the PIM based on comparing the radial drift velocity of solids and the root mean square turbulent velocity fluctuations around the pressure maximum. From our results of gas simulations, we provide an expression for the PIM versus disk aspect ratio and turbulent viscosity. Our gas plus dust simulations show that the effective PIM can be nearly an order of magnitude larger in high-viscosity disks because turbulence diffuse particles out of the pressure maximum. This is quantified by our semi-analytical calculation, which gives an explicit dependence of the PIM with Stokes number of particles. We conclude than disk turbulence can significantly alter the PIM, depending on the level of turbulence in regions of planet formation.
