We study the accretion of dust particles of various sizes onto embedded massive gas giant planets, where we take into account the structure of the gas disk due to the presence of the planet. The accretion rate of solids is important for the structure of giant planets: it determines the growth rate of the solid core that may be present as well as their final enrichment in solids. We use the RODEO hydrodynamics solver to solve the flow equations for the gas, together with a particle approach for the dust. The solver for the particles equations of motion is implicit with respect to the drag force, which allows us to treat the whole dust size spectrum. We find that dust accretion is limited to the smallest particle sizes. The largest particles get trapped in outer mean-motion resonances with the planet, while particles of intermediate size are pushed away from the orbit of the planet by the density structure in the gas disk. Only particles smaller than approximately s_max =10 micron may accrete on a planet with the mass of Jupiter. For a ten times less massive planet s_max=100 micron. The strongly reduced accretion of dust makes it very hard to enrich a newly formed giant planet in solids.

Magnetospheric accretion is an important process for a wide range of astrophysical systems, and may play a role in the formation of gas giant planets. Extending the formalism describing stellar magnetospheric accretion into the planetary regime, we d
emonstrate that magnetospheric processes may govern accretion onto young gas giants in the isolation phase of their development. Planets in the isolation phase have cleared out large gaps in their surrounding circumstellar disks, and settled into a quasi-static equilibrium with radii only modestly larger than their final sizes (i.e., $ r sim 1.4 r_{rm final}$). Magnetospheric accretion is less likely to play a role in a young gas giants main accretion phase, when the planets envelope is predicted to be much larger than the planets Alfven radius. For a fiducial 1 M$_J$ gas giant planet with a remnant isolation phase accretion rate of $dot{M}_{odot} =$ 10$^{-10} M_{odot}{rm yr}^{-1}=10^{-7}M_{J}{rm yr}^{-1}$, the disk accretion will be truncated at $sim 2.7r_J$ (with $r_J$ is Jupiters radius) and drive the planet to rotate with a period of $sim$7 hours. Thermal emission from planetary magnetospheric accretion will be difficult to observe; the most promising observational signatures may be non-thermal, such as gyrosynchrotron radiation that is clearly modulated at a period much shorter than the rotation period of the host star.
The growth process of proto-planets can be sped-up by accreting a large number of solid, pebble-sized objects that are still present in the protoplanetary disc. It is still an open question on how efficient this process works in realistic turbulent d
iscs. Here, we investigate the accretion of pebbles in turbulent discs that are driven by the purely hydrodynamical vertical shear instability (VSI). For this purpose, we perform global three-dimensional simulations of locally isothermal, VSI turbulent discs with embedded protoplanetary cores from 5 to 100 $M_oplus$ that are placed at 5.2 au distance from the star. In addition, we follow the evolution of a swarm of embedded pebbles of different size under the action of drag forces between gas and particles in this turbulent flow. Simultaneously, we perform a set of comparison simulations for laminar viscous discs where the particles experience stochastic kicks. For both cases, we measure the accretion rate onto the cores as a function of core mass and Stokes number ($tau_s$) of the particles and compare it to recent MRI turbulence simulations. Overall the dynamic is very similar for the particles in the VSI turbulent disc and the laminar case with stochastic kicks. For the small mass planets (i.e. 5 and 10 $M_oplus$), well-coupled particles with $tau_s = 1$, which have a size of about one meter at this location, we find an accretion efficiency (rate of particles accreted over drifting inward) of about 1.6-3%. For smaller and larger particles this efficiency is higher. However, the fast inward drift for $tau_s = 1$ particles makes them the most effective for rapid growth, leading to mass doubling times of about 20,000 yr. For masses between 10 and 30 $M_oplus$ the core reaches the pebble isolation mass and the particles are trapped at the pressure maximum just outside of the planet, shutting off further particle accretion.
From optical spectroscopic measurements we determine that the HD 15407 binary system is ~80 Myr old. The primary, HD 15407A (spectral type F5V), exhibits strong mid-infrared excess emission indicative of a recent catastrophic collision between rocky
planetary embryos or planets in its inner planetary system. Synthesis of all known stars with large quantities of dust in their terrestrial planet zone indicates that for stars of roughly Solar mass this warm dust phenomenon occurs at ages between 30 and 100 Myr. In contrast, for stars of a few Solar masses, the dominant era of the final assembling of rocky planets occurs earlier, between 10 and 30 Myr age. The incidence of the warm dust phenomenon, when compared against models for the formation of rocky terrestrial-like bodies, implies that rocky planet formation in the terrestrial planet zone around Sun-like stars is common.
The problem of interaction of the rotating magnetic field, frozen to a star, with a thin well conducting accretion disk is solved exactly. It is shown that a disk pushes the magnetic field lines towards a star, compressing the stellar dipole magnetic
field. At the point of corotation, where the Keplerian rotation frequency coincides with the frequency of the stellar rotation, the loop of the electric current appears. The electric currents flow in the magnetosphere only along two particular magnetic surfaces, which connect the corotation region and the inner edge of a disk with the stellar surface. It is shown that the closed current surface encloses the magnetosphere. Rotation of a disk is stopped at some distance from the stellar surface, which is 0.55 of the corotation radius. Accretion from a disk spins up the stellar rotation. The angular momentum transferred to the star is determined.
Throughout the Hubble time, gas makes its way from the intergalactic medium into galaxies fuelling their star formation and promoting their growth. One of the key properties of the accreting gas is its angular momentum, which has profound implication
s for the evolution of, in particular, disc galaxies. Here, we discuss how to infer the angular momentum of the accreting gas using observations of present-day galaxy discs. We first summarize evidence for ongoing inside-out growth of star forming discs. We then focus on the chemistry of the discs and show how the observed metallicity gradients can be explained if gas accretes onto a disc rotating with a velocity 20-30% lower than the local circular speed. We also show that these gradients are incompatible with accretion occurring at the edge of the discs and flowing radially inward. Finally, we investigate gas accretion from a hot corona with a cosmological angular momentum distribution and describe how simple models of rotating coronae guarantee the inside-out growth of disc galaxies.
