Formation of multiple-planet systems in resonant chains around M dwarfs, such as the famous Trappist-1 planetary system. The observed architecture of the orbital resonances depends on the formation time of the planet within the ice line of a protoplanetary disk, which can be used to constrain planet formation models such as pebble accretion and streaming instabilities. This is a work accomplished by an ASIAA summer student Lin Yu-Chia and a postdoc fellow Dr. Yuji Matsumoto in my group.
