Growing and moving planets in disks

Doctoral Thesis
Planets form in disks that are commonly found around young stars. The intimate relationship that exists between planet and disk can account for a lot of the exotic extrasolar planetary systems known today. In this thesis we explore disk-planet interaction using numerical hydrodynamical simulations. We study the growth and migration of embedded planets, as well as the condition for gap formation in the disk. These planetary gaps provide an important link to future observations of circumstellar disks.
