We review the prevailing theories for the formation of the jovian planets and comment that they do not provide a natural explanation for the oft-noted subdivision into two separate classes: the gas-rich giants, Jupiter and Saturn, and the gas-poor giants, Uranus and Neptune.

We present numerical simulations of the formation of the planetary companions to 47 UMa, ρ CrB, and 51 Peg. They are assumed to have formed in situ according to the basic model that a core formed first by accretion of solid particles, then later it captured substantial amounts of gas from the protop

We investigate the orbital evolution of 10 13 -to 10 25 -g planetesimals near 1 AU and in the asteroid belt (near 2.6 AU) prior to the stage of evolution when the mutual perturbations between the planetesimals become important. We include nebular gas drag and the effects of Jupiter and Saturn at the

The existence of Uranus and Neptune presents severe difficulties for the core accretion model for the formation of ice giant planets. We suggest an alternative mechanism, namely disk instability leading to the formation of gas giant protoplanets, coagulation and settling of dust grains to form ice-r
