"We have been studying planet formation for a long time but never before had we thought to check the shape of the planets as they form in the simulations," said University of Central Lancashire astrophysicist Dimitris Stamatellos.
"This theory is appealing due to the fact that large planets can form very quickly at large distances from their host star, explaining some exoplanet observations," said lead author Adam Fenton.
