The effects of radiative feedback and circumplanetary disk formation on the gas

Abstract 1. Figures

The traditional 1D core accretion scenario predicts that in the third and last phase of formation, the plan- ets grow exponentially. In this stage their gaseous envelope collapse onto the core and this launches a runaway accretion of gas. If this were true, the im- plication is that there should be a dichotomy in the mass distribution: either do not enter the runaway phase and remain < 30MEarth or be- come several times more massive than in a short time when entering the runaway phase.
