Contemporary formation of early solar system planetesimals at two distinct radial locations

Alessandro Morbidelli, Kevin Baillie, Konstantin Batygin +4

The formation of planetesimals is expected to occur via particle-gas instabilities that concentrate dust into self-gravitating clumps. Triggering these instabilities requires the p…
