Earths Are Not Super-Earths, Saturns Are Not Jupiters: Imprints of Pressure-bump Planet Formation on Planetary Architectures

In protoplanetary disks, sufficiently massive planets excite pressure bumps, which can then be preferred locations for forming new planet cores. We discuss how this loop may affect the architecture of multiplanet systems and compare our predictions with observations. Our main prediction is that low-...
