Forming Gas Giants around a Range of Protostellar M-dwarfs by Gas Disk Gravitational Instability

Recent discoveries of gas giant exoplanets around M-dwarfs from transiting and radial velocity surveys are difficult to explain with core-accretion models. We present here a homogeneous suite of 162 models of gravitationally unstable gaseous disks. These models represent an existence proof for gas g...
