Complex gas flows in magnetized protoplanetary disks promote the formation of dust traps at low fragmentation velocities

Vignesh Vaikundaraman, Joanna Drazkowska, Nerea Gurrutxaga +1

Non-ideal magnetohydrodynamic simulations of protoplanetary disks show a plethora of complex gas structures, including winds, rings, and gaps. These affect dust transport and help…

Turning the knobs on dust evolution: Comparing codes, parameters and their effects on planet formation and disc observables

Linn E. J. Eriksson, Thomas Pfeil, Nicolas Kaufmann +1

Protoplanetary discs contain a wide range of dust sizes that influence their thermal structure and planet formation processes such as planetesimal formation and pebble accretion. D…

A Monte Carlo method for tracking dust properties during coagulation in protoplanetary disks

Nerea Gurrutxaga, Vignesh Vaikundaraman, Joanna Drazkowska

Dust growth is a crucial step in planet formation, and the efficiency of this process is controlled by the physical and chemical properties of the dust grains. Monte Carlo-based me…

Carbonaceous Chondrites provide evidence for late-stage planetesimal formation in a pressure bump

Nerea Gurrutxaga, Joanna Drazkowska, Vignesh Vaikundaraman +1

Carbonaceous chondrites are samples from planetesimals that formed 2-4 million years after solar system formation began. They consist of distinct dust components formed at differen…

mcdust: A 2D Monte Carlo code for dust coagulation in protoplanetary disks

Vignesh Vaikundaraman, Nerea Gurrutxaga, Joanna DrÄ Å¼kowska

mcdust is a parallel simulation code for dust evolution in protoplanetary disks. The code is written in FORTRAN90 and parallelised with OpenMP. The code models dust collisional evo…

Can Close-In Exoplanets form by Pebble Accretion?

Jayashree Narayan, Joanna Drazkowska, Vignesh Vaikundaraman

Pebble accretion is the leading theory for the formation of exoplanets more massive than the Earth. Many parameters influence planet growth in the pebble accretion models. In this…
