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. We review current understanding of disk-planet interactions, focussing in particular on physical processes that determine the speed and direction of migration. We describe the evolution of low mass planets embedded in protoplanetary disks, and examine the influence of Lindblad and corotation torques as a function of the disk properties. The role of the disk in causing the evolution of eccentricities and inclinations is also discussed. We describe the rapid migration of intermediate mass planets that may occur as a runaway process, and examine the transition to gap formation and slower migration driven by the viscous evolution of the disk for massive planets. The roles and influence of disk self-gravity and magnetohydrodynamic turbulence are discussed in detail, as a function of the planet mass, as is the evolution of multiple planet systems. Finally, we address the question of how well global models of planetary formation that include migration are able to match observations of extrasolar planets.

  1. Orbital evolution of asymmetric binaries within accreting environments

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Disk-induced dissipation drives rapid orbital plane alignment followed by slower eccentricity damping in extreme mass-ratio inspirals, with relativistic effects producing accumulating deviations from Keplerian orbits ...

  2. A Model Selection Criterion for Multidimensional Gaussian Processes: Application to Radial Velocities

    astro-ph.IM 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Introduces MGIC_rv, an information criterion that combines conditional RV likelihood with an effective parameter count for selecting multi-GP models focused on radial velocities.

  3. Where Do Hot Jupiters Come From? Revisiting Tidal Disruption and Ejection in High-Eccentricity Migration

    astro-ph.EP 2026-05 conditional novelty 7.0

    Planets with realistic dense cores survive close star encounters without total disruption, allowing more to circularize into hot Jupiters or be ejected after mass loss.

  4. Dynamics and detectability of long-lived non-accretion phases for massive black hole binaries in cold, thermally regulating disks

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Self-consistent thermal regulation in circumbinary disks permits long-lived non-accretion phases that suppress binary feeding rates toward the Eddington limit while leaving optical/near-IR detectability intact.

    astro-ph.EP 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    2D radiation-hydrodynamical simulations find accretion outbursts unstable to Rossby-wave instability, forming vortices that suppress planetesimal formation until post-burst quiescence.
