Binary Planetesimal Formation from Gravitationally Collapsing Pebble Clouds
David Nesvorny, Rixin Li, Jacob B. Simon +4
Planetesimals are compact astrophysical objects roughly 1-1000 km in size, massive enough to be held together by gravity. They can grow by accreting material to become full-size pl…
Protoplanetary Disk Rings as Sites for Planetesimal Formation
Daniel Carrera, Jacob B. Simon, Rixin Li +2
Axisymmetric dust rings are a ubiquitous feature of young protoplanetary disks. These rings are likely caused by pressure bumps in the gas profile; a small bump can induce a traffi…
Turbulence Regulates the Rate of Planetesimal Formation via Gravitational Collapse
Daniel A. Gole, Jacob B. Simon, Rixin Li +2
We study how the interaction between the streaming instability and intrinsic gas-phase turbulence affects planetesimal formation via gravitational collapse in protoplanetary disks.…
