Probing Conditions for Strong Clumping by the Streaming Instability: Small Dust Grains and Low Dust-to-gas Density Ratio
Jeonghoon Lim, Jacob B. Simon, Rixin Li +5
The streaming instability (SI) is a leading mechanism for concentrating solid particles into regions dense enough to form planetesimals. Its efficiency in clumping particles depend…
Rapid protoplanet formation in vortices: three-dimensional local simulations with selfgravity
Wladimir Lyra, Chao-Chin Yang, Jacob B. Simon +2
Disk vortices, seen in numerical simulations of protoplanetary disks and found observationally in ALMA and VLA images of these objects, are promising sites for planet formation giv…
The Limited Role of the Streaming Instability During Moon and Exomoon Formation
Miki Nakajima, Jeremy Atkins, Jacob B. Simon +1
It is generally accepted that the Moon accreted from the disk formed by an impact between the proto-Earth and impactor, but its details are highly debated. Some models suggest that…
Magnetically Driven Turbulence in the Inner Regions of Protoplanetary Disks
David G. Rea, Jacob B. Simon, Daniel Carrera +5
Given the important role turbulence plays in the settling and growth of dust grains in protoplanetary disks, it is crucial that we determine whether these disks are turbulent and t…
A solution for the density dichotomy problem of Kuiper Belt objects with multi-species streaming instability and pebble accretion
Manuel H. Cañas, Wladimir Lyra, Daniel Carrera +6
Kuiper belt objects show an unexpected trend, whereby large bodies have increasingly higher densities, up to five times greater than their smaller counterparts. Current explanation…
