Migration
Resonances Migration in a non-turbulent disc Planet formation
Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech Migration - Type I
• Low mass planets • No gap opening in disc • Migration rate is fast • Depends strongly on thermodynamics of the disc Migration - Type II
• Massive planets (typically bigger than Saturn) • Opens a (clear) gap • Migration rate is slow • Follows viscous evolution of the disc Gap opening criteria

• Massive disc • Intermediate planet mass • Tries to open gap • Very fast, few orbital timescales Resonance capture 2:1 Mean Motion Resonance
