Super-Earths Around M Dwarf Stars - Competing Theories
Alan Boss of NAI’s Carnegie Institution of Washington Team published in the current issue of the Astrophysical Journal a new look at the origin of super-Earths orbiting M dwarf stars. The core accretion mechanism of giant planet formation has been used to explain the presence of these planets. Boss’ new work shows they could also have been formed by the disk instability mechanism.
