Late-infall-induced formation of giant planets, multigenerational planetesimals, and disk substructures

Haichen Zhao, Tommy Chi Ho Lau, Joanna Drążkowska +2

Late infall can replenish the building materials of planets in protoplanetary disks and dramatically alter their structural evolution. The resulting pressure bumps effectively accu…

A tension between dust and gas radii: the role of substructures and external photoevaporation in protoplanetary disks

Luca Delussu, Rossella Anania, Tilman Birnstiel +5

Protoplanetary disk substructures are thought to play a crucial role in disk evolution and planet formation. Population studies of disks large-sample size surveys show that substru…

Formation of Multiple Dynamical Classes in the Kuiper Belt via Disk Dissipation

Tommy Chi Ho Lau, Til Birnstiel, Sebastian Markus Stammler +1

Planetesimal formation likely lasted for millions of years in the solar nebula, and the cold classicals in the Kuiper Belt are suggested to be the direct products of streaming inst…

Turbulence Inhibits Planetesimal Formation in Class 0/I Disks Subject to Infall

Daniel Carrera, Abigail Davenport, Jacob B. Simon +5

There is growing evidence that planet formation begins early, within the Myr Class 0/I phase, when infall dominates disk dynamics. Our goal is to determine if Class 0/I…

Planetesimal formation in a pressure bump induced by infall

Haichen Zhao, Tommy Chi Ho Lau, Tilman Birnstiel +2

Infall of interstellar material is a potential non-planetary origin of pressure bumps in protoplanetary disks. While pressure bumps arising from other mechanisms have been numerica…

Sequential giant planet formation initiated by disc substructure

Tommy Chi Ho Lau, Til Birnstiel, Joanna Drążkowska +1

Planet formation models are necessary to understand the origins of diverse planetary systems. Circumstellar disc substructures have been proposed as preferred locations of planet f…

Large gaps and high accretion rates in photoevaporative transition disks with a dead zone

Matías Gárate, Timmy N. Delage, Jochen Stadler +7

Observations of young stars hosting transition disks show that several of them have high accretion rates, despite their disks presenting extended cavities in their dust component.…

The formation of wide exoKuiper belts from migrating dust traps

E. Miller, S. Marino, S. M. Stammler +4

The question of what determines the width of Kuiper belt analogues (exoKuiper belts) is an open one. If solved, this understanding would provide valuable insights into the architec…

A bright inner disk and structures in the transition disk around the very low-mass star CIDA 1

P. Pinilla, N. T. Kurtovic, M. Benisty +7

Observations of protoplanetary disks around very low-mass stars and brown dwarfs remain challenging and little is known about their properties. The disk around CIDA1 (0.1-0.2…

How dust fragmentation may be beneficial to planetary growth by pebble accretion

Joanna Drazkowska, Sebastian M. Stammler, Til Birnstiel

Pebble accretion is an emerging paradigm for the fast growth of planetary cores. Pebble flux and pebble sizes are the key parameters used in the pebble accretion models. We aim to…

Growing and Trapping Pebbles with Fragile Collisions of Particles in Protoplanetary Disks

Paola Pinilla, Christian T. Lenz, Sebastian M. Stammler

[abridged] Recent laboratory experiments indicate that destructive collisions of icy dust particles occur with much lower velocities than previously thought. When these new velocit…

Constraining the parameter space for the Solar Nebula

Christian T. Lenz, Hubert Klahr, Tilman Birnstiel +2

If we want to understand planetesimal formation, the only data set we have is our own Solar System. It is particularly interesting as it is so far the only planetary system we know…
