Hot blobs around nascent planets: Influence on migration and observability
We perform 3D radiation hydro simulations of Planet-Disk interaction. As a follow up on previous work (Klahr & Kley 2006) we study now the effects of radiation transport for lower mass planets (1-100 Mearth). We discuss the influence of proper thermodynamics on the migration rates and the possibilities to observe the planetary embryos early on in the womb of their mother disk.Last modified: Sun Jul 9 17:47:36 2006
