SUMMARY:Planet-disk interaction and orbital evolution - Wilhelm Kley (Tueb
 ingen University\, Germany)
DTSTART:20121029T160000Z

UID:TALK40647@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Jérôme Guilet
DESCRIPTION:As planets form and grow within gaseous protoplanetary disks\,
  the mutual gravitational interaction between the disk and planet leads to
  the exchange of angular momentum\, and migration of the planet. I review 
 the current understanding of disk-planet interactions\, focussing in parti
 cular on physical processes that determine the speed and direction of migr
 ation. The role of Lindblad and corotation torques as a function of the di
 sk properties will be discussed\, as well as the evolution of eccentriciti
 es and inclinations. Finally\, I address the question of how well global m
 odels of planetary formation that include migration are able to match obse
 rvations of extrasolar planets.
