Does anyone know of any recent papers that attempt to explain how planets such as gas giants migrate inwards in extrasolar system, and why our ones haven't?
I have a big gap in my knowledge about this... last I heard it was something to do with increase drag through the disk as the planets form. Has this view changed?

Hello....
Here are a few resources that I have bookmarked:
http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0301556
http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/astro-ph/0309175
http://www.ifa.hawaii.edu/faculty/jewit ... grate.html
http://www.boulder.swri.edu/~davidn/pap ... ration.pdf
http://www.astro.helsinki.fi/~naranen/P ... ration.pdf
Google will also bring up some 600 or so entries.
Hope this helps!
