Gas dynamics around dust asymmetries in turbulent disks
Lizxandra Flores-Rivera, Natascha Manger, Michiel Lambrechts +4
High-resolution ALMA observations have revealed asymmetric dust crescents in several protoplanetary disks, suggesting efficient dust trapping mechanisms potentially linked to gas v…
From planetesimals to planets with N-body simulations in the giant-planet formation region
Sebastian Lorek, Michiel Lambrechts
The cores of wide-orbit giant planets can form via pebble accretion if large planetesimals form in the outer regions of protoplanetary discs at sufficiently early times. Streaming…
Super-Earth formation in systems with cold giants
Claudia Danti, Michiel Lambrechts, Sebastian Lorek
Around our Sun, terrestrial planets did not grow beyond Earth in mass, while super-Earths are found to orbit approximately every other solar-like star. It remains unclear what divi…
UV-processing of icy pebbles in the outer parts of VSI-turbulent disks
Lizxandra Flores-Rivera, Michiel Lambrechts, Sacha Gavino +4
Icy dust particles emerge in star-forming clouds and are subsequently incorporated in protoplanetary disks, where they coagulate into larger pebbles up to mm in size. In the disk m…
Formation of flattened planetesimals by gravitational collapse of rotating pebble clouds
Sebastian Lorek, Anders Johansen
Planetesimals are believed to form by the gravitational collapse of aerodynamically concentrated clumps of pebbles. Many properties of the objects in the cold classical Kuiper belt…
Growing the seeds of pebble accretion through planetesimal accretion
Sebastian Lorek, Anders Johansen
We explore the growth of planetary embryos by planetesimal accretion up to and beyond the point where pebble accretion becomes efficient at the so-called Hill-transition mass. Both…
A close-encounter method for simulating the dynamics of planetesimals
Sebastian Lorek, Anders Johansen
The dynamics of planetesimals plays an important role in planet formation, because their velocity distribution sets the growth rate to larger bodies. When planetesimals form in pro…
Comet formation in collapsing pebble clouds. What cometary bulk density implies for the cloud mass and dust-to-ice ratio
S. Lorek, B. Gundlach, P. Lacerda +1
Comets are remnants of the icy planetesimals that formed beyond the ice line in the Solar Nebula. Growing from micrometre-sized dust and ice particles to km-sized objects is, howev…
