Scientific paper

We investigate the coupling between solids and gas during the formation
of gas giant planets by disk fragmentation in the outer regions of
massive disks. We find that fragments can become differentiated at
birth. Even if an entire clump does not survive, differentiation could
create solids cores that survive to accrete gaseous envelopes later.
