Scientific paper

The main properties of the observed extrasolar planets are reviewed with respect to their relevance to the formation scenario of planetary systems. Results of numerical computations of embedded planets in viscously evolving disks are presented. Emphasis is given to the accretion and migration process. New calculations on inviscid disks are shown. The second part of the talk concentrates on resonant planetary systems. Among the observed extrasolar systems there are 3 confirmed cases, Gl 876, HD 82943 and 55 Cnc, where the planets orbit their central star in a low order mean motion resonance. Results of numerical simulations modeling the formation and evolution of such systems are presented.
