This claim says the planets' own gas accretion could undermine that process in two ways. Accretion could change the planets' mass ratio, or reduce the flow of gas toward the star and so deplete the inner disk. If it holds, outward migration would be harder to sustain than models without accretion suggest.","findings":["Locking in the 3:2 resonance may lead to outward migration under suitable disk viscosity and temperature, but locking does not necessarily cause it, for example when the planets lock in the 2:1 resonance.","For planets locked in the 3:2 resonance there are stalling radii that depend on disk viscosity and stellar irradiation.","Within the explored disk parameters, fewer than a few per cent of models send the interior planet beyond 4 AU."],"terms":[{"term":"outward migration","means":"The drift of a planet to larger orbits, here driven by gravitational (tidal) interaction with the surrounding gas disk."},{"term":"mass ratio M2/M1","means":"The mass of the outer planet (Saturn-like) divided by that of the inner planet (Jupiter-like)."},{"term":"accretion rate toward the star","means":"The rate at which gas from the disk flows inwards and falls onto the central star."}],"basis":"abstract","abstractFrom":"arxiv","model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","writtenAt":"2026-10-21T04:45:17.797Z","version":"context/0.2"},"summary":{"status":"written","at":"2026-10-21T04:45:17.797Z","attempts":1,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","why":null},"note":"Machine-written context to help a reader: it is not evidence, it moves no number, and it may be wrong.
