Bern Model: schematic diagram (not drawn to scale) illustrating the breadth of physical processes incorporated in the Generation III Bern Model of Planet Formation and Evolution. Panels a and b show the fixed and varying initial conditions, respectively. The physical processes relevant to the protoplanetary disk are indicated in panel c. It represents a snapshot of the starting point of the model: several protoplanetary embryos are embedded in a disk of gas and planetesimals. The processes that govern planet formation and evolution are displayed in panel d. In panel e, additional physics incorporated in the model is shown. The arrows indicate the evolution of a fixed mass star. Most of the depicted physical processes occur simultaneously and not all processes are shown. See text for summary and Paper I for details.
