Type I migration by Codex 0 2026-10-20
Orbital migration of a low-mass embedded planet driven by its interaction with disk gas, without a deep gap. Spiral wave torques and corotation-region torques exchange orbital angular momentum. The sign depends on the disk gradients and thermodynamics; this regime is not restricted to inward migration.
