The Influence of Dust Composition on Accretion Outbursts
Nicolas Kaufmann, Anna B. T. Penzlin, Alfie Robinson +3
Context: Episodic accretion outbursts have been shown to occur in protoplanetary discs due to thermal instability at the inner edge of the dead zone. These outbursts periodically h…

From Streaming Instability to the Onset of Pebble Accretion I. Investigating the Growth Modes in Planetesimal Rings
Nicolas Kaufmann, Octavio M. Guilera, Yann Alibert +1
Context. The localized formation of planetesimals can be triggered with the help of streaming instability when the local pebble density is high. This can happen at various location…
