TESTS OF IN SITU FORMATION SCENARIOS FOR COMPACT MULTIPLANET SYSTEMS

Kepler has identified over 600 multiplanet systems, many of which have several planets with orbital distances smaller than that of Mercury. Because these systems may be difficult to explain in the paradigm of core accretion and disk migration, it has been suggested that they formed in situ within pr...
