The 12 pages that link to Core accretion, each with the reason it gives.

• JupiterRelated: It is a leading explanation for how Jupiter acquired its massive gaseous envelope.

• Brown dwarfCompared with: It contrasts with star-like cloud collapse as a proposed route to some brown dwarfs.

• Hot JupiterRelated: It explains how hot Jupiters could form farther out before moving inward.

• Planet formationRelated: It describes one route from solid bodies to gas-rich planets.

• Gas giantRelated: It explains how a growing core can capture a massive hydrogen-helium envelope.

• Disk instabilityCompared with: It forms giant planets through staged growth rather than direct gravitational collapse of disk gas.

• Planetary-mass objectRelated: It explains how some star-bound planetary-mass objects form within protoplanetary disks.

• Pulsar planetCompared with: It describes ordinary planet formation, but does not by itself explain how planets survive a pulsar’s birth.

• Planetary coreBroader topic: This process describes how metallic cores formed inside many early planetary bodies.

• Substellar objectRelated: It offers a route to giant planets that can overlap substellar masses.

• Giant planetRelated: It explains how some giant planets could gather massive hydrogen-helium envelopes around growing cores.

• Formation and evolution of the Solar SystemRelated: It explains how giant planets could acquire their massive atmospheres.
