Super-Earth Migration in Radiative, Low-Viscosity Disks

Watch a 22-minute conference talk by Alexandro Ziampras from Queen Mary University exploring Super-Earth migration in radiative, low-viscosity disks. This presentation was recorded during the "Planets on the Edge" conference held at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics (KITP) at UC Santa Barbara in May 2025. The talk contributes to the conference's broader exploration of Earth-sized planets in inner protoplanetary disks, addressing key questions about the nature of close-in rocky planets, their formation mechanisms, governing parameters across star systems, and why similar planets don't exist in our solar system. The conference brought together experts in exoplanet demographics, protoplanetary disks, planet formation models, and meteoritics to synthesize current knowledge and advance understanding through observations, theory, and computational modeling.
