Pebble Accretion in Turbulent Protoplanetary Disks
Ziyan Xu, Xue-Ning Bai, Ruth Murray-Clay
It has been realized in recent years that the accretion of pebble-sized dust particles onto planetary cores is an important mode of core growth, which enables the formation of gian…
The Formation of Uranus and Neptune: Fine Tuning in Core Accretion
Renata Frelikh, Ruth A. Murray-Clay
Uranus and Neptune are ice giants with 15% atmospheres by mass, placing them in an intermediate category between rocky planets and gas giants. These atmospheres are too mass…
Evidence that the Directly-Imaged Planet HD 131399 Ab is a Background Star
Eric L. Nielsen, Robert J. De Rosa, Julien Rameau +55
We present evidence that the recently discovered, directly-imaged planet HD 131399 Ab is a background star with non-zero proper motion. From new JHK1L' photometry and spectroscopy…
Using Ice and Dust Lines to Constrain the Surface Densities of Protoplanetary Disks
Diana Powell, Ruth Murray-Clay, Hilke E. Schlichting
We present a novel method for determining the surface density of protoplanetary disks through consideration of disk 'dust lines' which indicate the observed disk radial scale at di…
