Saturn Forms by Core Accretion in 3.4 Myr
Sarah E. Dodson-Robinson, Peter Bodenheimer, Gregory Laughlin +3
We present two new in situ core accretion simulations of Saturn with planet formation timescales of 3.37 Myr (model S0) and 3.48 Myr (model S1), consistent with observed protostell…
Ice Lines, Planetesimal Composition and Solid Surface Density in the Solar Nebula
Sarah E. Dodson-Robinson, Karen Willacy, Peter Bodenheimer +2
To date, there is no core accretion simulation that can successfully account for the formation of Uranus or Neptune within the observed 2-3 Myr lifetimes of protoplanetary disks. S…
Kinematics of solid particles in a turbulent protoplanetary disc
Augusto Carballido, James M. Stone, Neal J. Turner
We perform numerical simulations of solid particle motion in a shearing box model of a protoplanetary disc. The accretion flow is turbulent due to the action of the magnetorotation…
Probing Interstellar Dust With Space-Based Coronagraphs
N. J. Turner, K. Grogan, J. B. Breckinridge
We show that space-based telescopes such as the proposed Terrestrial Planet Finder Coronagraph will be able to detect the light scattered by the interstellar grains along lines of…
