Planetesimal formation at the gas pressure bump following a migrating planet II. Effects of dust growth

Abstract

Planetesimal formation is still mysterious. One of the ways to form planetesimals is to invoke a gas pressure bump in a protoplanetary disc. In our previous paper, we propose a new scenario in which the piled-up dust at a gas pressure bump created by a migrating planet form planetesimals by streaming instability in a wide region of the disc as the planet migrates inward. In this work, we consider the global time evolution of dust and investigate the detailed conditions and results of the planetesimal formation in our scenario. We use a 1D grid single-sized dust evolution model, which can follow the growth of the particles by their mutual collision and their radial drift and diffusion. We calculate the time-evolution of the radial distribution of the peak mass and surface density of the dust in a gas disc perturbed by an embedded migrating planet and investigate if the dust satisfies the condition for planetesimal formation. We find that planetesimals form in a belt-like region between the snowline and the position where the planet reaches its pebble-isolation mass when the strength of turbulence is $10^{-4}\le \alpha \le 10^{-3}$, which is broadly consistent with observed value. The mechanism of the formation, streaming instability or mutual collision, depends on the timescale of the streaming instability. The total mass of planetesimals also depends on $\alpha$ and is about $30-100M_{\mathrm{E}}$ if the planetary core has already existed at the beginning and grows by gas accretion, but it decreases as the timing of the formation of the planetary core is later. We also provide simple approximate expressions of the surface density and total mass of the planetesimals and find that the total mass strongly depends on the dust mass. We show that planetesimals form in a belt-like region by the combination of the dust pile-up at the gas pressure bump formed by a planet and its inward migration.
