Linking planetary embryo formation to planetesimal formation II: The impact of pebble accretion in the terrestrial planet zone
Oliver Voelkel, Rogerio Deienno, Katherine Kretke +1
The accretion of pebbles on planetary cores has been widely studied in recent years and is found to be a highly effective mechanism for planetary growth. While most studies assume…

Linking planetary embryo formation to planetesimal formation I: The impact of the planetesimal surface density in the terrestrial planet zone
Oliver Voelkel, Rogerio Deienno, Katherine Kretke +1
The growth time scales of planetary embryos and their formation process are imperative for our understanding on how planetary systems form and develop. They determine the subsequen…

The impact of pebble flux regulated planetesimal formation on giant planet formation
Oliver Voelkel, Hubert Klahr, Christoph Mordasini +2
Forming gas giant planets by the accretion of 100 km diameter planetesimals, a typical size that results from self-gravity assisted planetesimal formation, is often thought to be i…
