Testing Accretion Models Against the "Peas in a Pod" Observation of Exoplanets
Abstract
Observational evidence suggests that exoplanets are similarly sized and are equally spaced within their systems ("peas in a pod"). We test various planetary formation models to see if they reproduce the peas-in-a-pod pattern.
