The Self-Similarity of Shear-Dominated Viscous Stirring
Benjamin F. Collins, Hilke E. Schlichting, Re'em Sari
We examine the growth of eccentricities of a population of particles with initially circular orbits around a central massive body. Successive encounters between pairs of particles…

Protoplanet Dynamics in a Shear-Dominated Disk
Benjamin F. Collins, Re'em Sari
The velocity dispersion, or eccentricity distribution, of protoplanets interacting with planetesimals is set by a balance between dynamical friction and viscous stirring. We calcul…
