Rein, Payne, Veras & Ford (2012) Stochastic orbital migration Migration - Type I
• Low mass planets • No gap opening in disc • Migration rate is fast • Depends strongly on thermodynamics of the disc
2D hydro code Prometheus (Rein 2010) Migration - Type II
• Massive planets (typically bigger than Saturn) • Opens a (clear) gap • Migration rate is slow • Follows viscous evolution of the disc
2D hydro code Prometheus (Rein 2010) How does a real protoplanetary disk look like?

• Angular momentum transport • Magnetorotational instability (MRI) • Density perturbations interact gravitationally with planets • Stochastic forces lead to random walk • Large uncertainties in strength of forces
