The Influence of the Fractal Dimension on Dust Evolution in Protoplanetary Disks
J. E. Schöll, C. P. Dullemond, C. Dominik
Context: During the first stages of dust coagulation in protoplanetary disks, the dust aggregates are expected to have a high degree of porosity. Most models of dust growth, howeve…
A broken debris cascade as a possible source of hot dust emission in transitioning planet-forming disks
Niels Swinkels, Carsten Dominik
Planet-forming disks turn from gas-rich, massive disks made of dust and gas into planetary systems containing only small amounts dust produced by collisions between smaller planeta…
The bouncing barrier revisited: Impact on key planet formation processes and observational signatures
Carsten Dominik, Cornelis Dullemond
Context. A leading paradigm in planet formation is currently the streaming instability and pebble accretion scenario. For this scenario, dust must grow into sizes in a specific reg…
Dust dynamics in planet-driven spirals
Ardjan Sturm, Giovanni Rosotti, Carsten Dominik
Context. Protoplanetary disks are known to host spiral features that are observed in scattered light, ALMA continuum and more recently in CO gas emission and gas dynamics. It is ho…
