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…

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 Drążkowska

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…

Formation of wide-orbit giant planets in protoplanetary disks with a decreasing pebble flux

Nerea Gurrutxaga, Anders Johansen, Michiel Lambrechts +1

The presence of distant protoplanets may explain the observed gaps in the dust emission of protoplanetary disks. Here, we derive a novel analytical model to describe the temporal d…
