Constraints on Barrow and Tsallis holographic dark energy from DESI DR2 BAO data

Luciano, Giuseppe Gaetano, Paliathanasis, Andronikos, Saridakis, Emmanuel N. • 2026 • Journal of High Energy Astrophysics • 18 citations
Barrow and Tsallis Holographic Dark Energy (HDE) are two recently proposed extensions of the standard HDE framework, incorporating generalized corrections to horizon entropy through the use of Barrow and Tsallis entropies. Tsallis entropy arises from non-extensive statistical phenomena which account for long-range correlations and deviations from additivity, while Barrow entropy emerges from quant...

CO2-rich protoplanetary discs as a probe of dust radial drift and trapping

Sellek, Andrew D., Vlasblom, Marissa, van Dishoeck, Ewine F. • 2025 • Astronomy and Astrophysics • 21 citations
Context. Mid-infrared spectra indicate considerable chemical diversity in the inner regions of protoplanetary discs, with some being H2O-dominated and others CO2-dominated. Sublimating ices from radially drifting dust grains are often invoked to explain some of this diversity, particularly with regards to H2O-rich discs. Aims. We model the contribution made by radi...

Topological defects as effective dynamical dark energy

An, Haipeng, Han, Chengcheng, Zhang, Borui • 2025 • arXiv e-prints • 10 citations
In this work, we consider the possibility that the dynamical dark energy hinted at by recent DESI data may be mimicked by the effects of additional components in the universe, potentially arising from topological defects. We find that the data does not show a particular preference for the existence of cosmic strings. However, a domain wall contribution at the percent level can improve the fit, yie...

The dominant accretion process leading to the formation of the terrestrial planets of the Solar System is a subject of intense scientific debate. Two radically different scenarios have been proposed. The classic scenario starts from a disk of planetesimals which, by mutual collisions, produce a set of Moon to Mars-mass planetary embryos.

Cosmological implications of tracker scalar fields: Testing the evidence for dynamical dark energy with recent data

Hossain, Md. Wali, Maqsood, Afaq • 2025 • Physical Review D • 17 citations
We investigate nonphantom tracker scalar field models as a dynamical dark energy scenario. These models can alleviate the cosmic coincidence problem and transition to a cosmological constantlike behavior at late times. Focusing on the inverse axionlike and inverse steep exponential potentials, we study their background evolution and perturbations, finding a mild suppression in the matter power spe...

Nucleation and growth of iron pebbles explains the formation of iron-rich planets akin to Mercury

Johansen, Anders, Dorn, Caroline • 2022 • Astronomy and Astrophysics • 38 citations
The pathway to forming the iron-rich planet Mercury remains mysterious. Its core makes up 70% of the planetary mass, which implies a significant enrichment of iron relative to silicates, while its mantle is strongly depleted in oxidised iron. The high core mass fraction is traditionally ascribed to evaporative loss of silicates, for example following a giant impact, but the high abundance of moder...

21-cm constraints on spinning primordial black holes

Cang, Junsong, Gao, Yu, Ma, Yin-Zhe • 2022 • Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics • 34 citations
Hawking radiation from primordial black holes (PBH) can ionize and heat up neutral gas during the cosmic dark ages, leaving imprints on the global 21-cm signal of neutral hydrogen. We use the global 21-cm signal to constrain the abundance of spinning PBHs in mass range of [2 × 1013, 1018] grams. We consider several extended PBH distribution models.

From dust to planets - I. Planetesimal and embryo formation

Coleman, Gavin A. L. • 2021 • Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society • 24 citations
Planet formation models begin with proto-embryos and planetesimals already fully formed, missing out a crucial step, the formation of planetesimals/proto-embryos. In this work, we include prescriptions for planetesimal and proto-embryo formation arising from pebbles becoming trapped in short-lived pressure bumps, in thermally evolving viscous discs to examine the sizes and distributions of proto-e...

Redshift-space distortions in simulations of the 21-cm signal from the cosmic dawn

Ross, Hannah E. et al. • 2021 • Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society • 35 citations
The 21-cm signal from the Cosmic Dawn (CD) is likely to contain large fluctuations, with the most extreme astrophysical models on the verge of being ruled out by observations from radio interferometers. It is therefore vital that we understand not only the astrophysical processes governing this signal, but also other inherent processes impacting the signal itself, and in particular line-of-sight e...

A pebble accretion model for the formation of the terrestrial planets in the Solar System

Johansen, Anders et al. • 2021 • Science Advances • 163 citations
Pebbles of millimeter sizes are abundant in protoplanetary discs around young stars. Chondrules inside primitive meteorites - formed by melting of dust aggregate pebbles or in impacts between planetesimals - have similar sizes. The role of pebble accretion for terrestrial planet formation is nevertheless unclear. Here we present a model where inwards-drifting pebbles feed the growth of terrestrial...

Effect of pebble flux-regulated planetesimal formation on giant planet formation

Voelkel, Oliver et al. • 2020 • Astronomy and Astrophysics • 41 citations
Context. The formation of gas giant planets by the accretion of 100 km diameter planetesimals is often thought to be inefficient. A diameter of this size is typical for planetesimals and results from self-gravity. Many models therefore use small kilometer-sized planetesimals, or invoke the accretion of pebbles. Furthermore, models based on planetesimal accretion often use the ad hoc assumption of ...

Shows that streaming instability works but is more challenging than originally thought in turbulent disks, consistent with bouncing barrier limiting particle sizes to values where streaming instabilit...

The Runts of the Litter: Why Planets Formed Through Gravitational Instability Can Only Be Failed Binary Stars

Kratter, Kaitlin M., Murray-Clay, Ruth A., Youdin, Andrew N. • 2010 • The Astrophysical Journal • 288 citations
Recent direct imaging discoveries suggest a new class of massive, distant planets around A stars. These widely separated giants have been interpreted as signs of planet formation driven by gravitational instability, but the viability of this mechanism is not clear-cut. In this paper, we first discuss the local requirements for fragmentation and the initial fragment mass scales. We then consider wh...

Models of giant planet formation with migration and disc evolution

Alibert, Y. et al. • 2005 • Astronomy and Astrophysics • 583 citations
We present a new model of giant planet formation that extends the core-accretion model of Pollack et al. (1996, Icarus, 124, 62) to include migration, disc evolution and gap formation. We show that taking these effects into account can lead to much more rapid formation of giant planets, making it compatible with the typical disc lifetimes inferred from observations of young circumstellar discs. Th...

Alibert et al. 2005 was the first to show that including migration prevents depletion of the feeding zone and enables much more rapid planet formation

Can Giant Planets Form by Direct Gravitational Instability?

Rafikov, Roman R. • 2005 • The Astrophysical Journal • 354 citations
Gravitational instability has been invoked as a possible mechanism of the giant planet production in protoplanetary disks. Here we critically revise its viability by noting that to form planets directly, it is not enough for protoplanetary disks to be gravitationally unstable. They must also be able to cool efficiently (on a timescale comparable to the local disk orbital period) to allow the forma...

Formation of the Giant Planets by Concurrent Accretion of Solids and Gas

Pollack, James B. et al. • 1996 • Icarus • 2706 citations
New numerical simulations of the formation of the giant planets are presented, in which for the first time both the gas and planetesimal accretion rates are calculated in a self-consistent, interactive fashion. The simulations combine three elements: (1) three-body accretion cross sections of solids onto an isolated planetary embryo, (2) a stellar evolution code for the planet's gaseous envelope, ...
