Planet migration in protoplanetary discs plays an important role in the longer term evolution of planetary systems, yet we currently have no direct observational test to determine if a planet is migrating in its gaseous disc. We explore the formation and evolution of dust rings - now commonly observed in protoplanetary discs by ALMA - in the presence of relatively low mass (12-60 Earth masses) migrating planets. Through two dimensional hydrodynamical simulations using gas and dust we find that the importance of perturbations in the pressure profile interior and exterior to the planet varies for different particle sizes. For small sizes a dust enhancement occurs interior to the planet, whereas it is exterior to it for large particles. The transition between these two behaviours happens when the dust drift velocity is comparable to the planet migration velocity. We predict that an observational signature of a migrating planet consists of a significant outwards shift of an observed midplane dust ring as the wavelength is increased.

Transition discs are expected to be a natural outcome of the interplay between photoevaporation (PE) and giant planet formation. Massive planets reduce the inflow of material from the outer to the inner disc, therefore triggering an earlier onset of disc dispersal due to PE through a process known as Planet-Induced PhotoEvaporation (PIPE). In this case, a cavity is formed as material inside the planetary orbit is removed by PE, leaving only the outer disc to drive the migration of the giant planet. We investigate the impact of PE on giant planet migration and focus specifically on the case of transition discs with an evacuated cavity inside the planet location. This is important for determining under what circumstances PE is efficient at halting the migration of giant planets, thus affecting the final orbital distribution of a population of planets. For this purpose, we use 2D FARGO simulations to model the migration of giant planets in a range of primordial and transition discs subject to PE. The results are then compared to the standard prescriptions used to calculate the migration tracks of planets in 1D planet population synthesis models. The FARGO simulations show that once the disc inside the planet location is depleted of gas, planet migration ceases. This contradicts the results obtained by the impulse approximation, which predicts the accelerated inward migration of planets in discs that have been cleared inside the planetary orbit. These results suggest that the impulse approximation may not be suitable for planets embedded in transition discs. A better approximation that could be used in 1D models would involve halting planet migration once the material inside the planetary orbit is depleted of gas and the surface density at the 3:2 mean motion resonance location in the outer disc reaches a threshold value of $0.01,mathrm{g,cm^{-2}}$.
The Jovian-sized object WD~1856~b transits a white dwarf (WD) in a compact $1.4$-day orbit. Unlikely to have endured stellar evolution in its current orbit, WD~1856~b is thought to have migrated from much wider separations. Because the WD is old, and a member of a well-characterized hierarchical multiple, the well-known Kozai mechanism provides an effective migration channel for WD~1856~b. Moreover, the lack of tides in the star allows us to directly connect the current semi-major axis to the pre-migration one, from which we can infer the initial conditions of the system. By further demanding that successful migrators survive all previous phases of stellar evolution, we are able to constrain the mass of WD~1856~b to be $simeq0.7-3M_{rm J}$ and its main sequence semi-major axis to be $simeq 2-2.5$ au. These properties imply that WD~1856~b was born a typical gas giant. We further estimate the occurrence rate of Kozai-migrated planets around WDs to be ${cal O}(10^{-3}{-}10^{-4})$, suggesting that WD~1856~b is the only one in the {it TESS} sample, but implying ${cal O}(10^2)$ future detections by LSST. In a sense, WD~1856~b was an ordinary Jovian planet that underwent an extraordinary dynamical history.

High contrast imaging instruments such as GPI and SPHERE are discovering gap structures in protoplanetary disks at an ever faster pace. Some of these gaps may be opened by planets forming in the disks. In order to constrain planet formation models us ing disk observations, it is crucial to find a robust way to quantitatively back out the properties of the gap-opening planets, in particular their masses, from the observed gap properties, such as their depths and widths. Combing 2D and 3D hydrodynamics simulations with 3D radiative transfer simulations, we investigate the morphology of planet-opened gaps in near-infrared scattered light images. Quantitatively, we obtain correlations that directly link intrinsic gap depths and widths in the gas surface density to observed depths and widths in images of disks at modest inclinations under finite angular resolution. Subsequently, the properties of the surface density gaps enable us to derive the disk scale height at the location of the gap $h$, and to constrain the quantity $M_{rm p}^2/alpha$, where $M_{rm p}$ is the mass of the gap-opening planet and $alpha$ characterizes the viscosity in the gap. As examples, we examine the gaps recently imaged by VLT/SPHERE, Gemini/GPI, and Subaru/HiCIAO in HD 97048, TW Hya, HD 169142, LkCa 15, and RX J1615.3-3255. Scale heights of the disks and possible masses of the gap-opening planets are derived assuming each gap is opened by a single planet. Assuming $alpha=10^{-3}$, the derived planet mass in all cases are roughly between 0.1-1 $M_{rm J}$.
Recent mm-wavelength surveys performed with the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) have revealed protoplanetary discs characterized by rings and gaps. A possible explanation for the origin of such rings is the tidal interaction with an unseen plan etary companion. The protoplanetary disc around DS Tau shows a wide gap in the ALMA observation at 1.3 mm. We construct a hydrodynamical model for the dust continuum observed by ALMA assuming the observed gap is carved by a planet between one and five Jupiter masses. We fit the shape of the radial intensity profile along the disc major axis varying the planet mass, the dust disc mass, and the evolution time of the system. The best fitting model is obtained for a planet with $M_{rm p}=3.5,M_{rm Jup}$ and a disc with $M_{rm dust}= 9.6cdot10^{-5},M_{odot}$. Starting from this result, we also compute the expected signature of the planet in the gas kinematics, as traced by CO emission. We find that such a signature (in the form of a kink in the channel maps) could be observed by ALMA with a velocity resolution between $0.2-0.5,rm{kms}^{-1}$ and a beam size between 30 and 50 mas.
The recently discovered ring around the dwarf planet (136108) Haumea is located near the 1:3 resonance between the orbital motion of the ring particles and the spin of Haumea. In the current work is studied the dynamics of individual particles in the region where is located the ring. Using the Poincare Surface of Section technique, the islands of stability associated with the 1:3 resonance are identified and studied. Along all its existence this resonance showed to be doubled, producing pairs of periodic and quasi-periodic orbits. The fact of being doubled introduces a separatrix, which generates a chaotic layer that significantly reduces the size of the stable regions of the 1:3 resonance. The results also show that there is a minimum equivalent eccentricity ($e_{1:3}$) for the existence of such resonance. This value seems to be too high to keep a particle within the borders of the ring. On the other hand, the Poincare Surface of Sections show the existence of much larger stable regions, but associated with a family of first kind periodic orbits. They exist with equivalent eccentricity values lower than $e_{1:3}$, and covering a large radial distance, which encompasses the region of the Haumeas ring. Therefore, this analysis suggests the Haumeas ring is in a stable region associated with a first kind periodic orbit instead of the 1:3 resonance.
