Late-infall-induced formation of giant planets, multigenerational planetesimals, and disk substructures
Haichen Zhao, Tommy Chi Ho Lau, Joanna DrÄ Å¼kowska +3
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…
Starlight-driven flared-staircase geometry in radiation hydrodynamic models of protoplanetary disks
Prakruti Sudarshan, Mario Flock, Alexandros Ziampras +2
Protoplanetary disks observed in millimeter continuum and scattered light show a variety of substructures. Various physical processes in the disk could trigger such features -- one…
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…
Disk Evolution Study Through Imaging of Nearby Young Stars (DESTINYS): Evidence of planet-disk interaction in the 2MASSJ16120668-3010270 system
C. Ginski, P. Pinilla, M. Benisty +28
The architectures of exoplanet systems are likely set during the initial planet-formation phase in the circumstellar disk. To understand this process, we have to study the earliest…
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…
