Reviews direct imaging of protoplanets and proposes deriving observational estimates of planet mass-to-radius ratio to test formation models, highlighting ELT capabilities.
The disk instability model remains viable for explaining giant planets that form early, at large orbital distances, and around M-dwarf stars, supported by updated simulations and observations.
