A Contact Binary Satellite of the Asteroid (152830) Dinkinesh

Harold F. Levison, Simone Marchi, Keith S. Noll +3

Asteroids with diameters less than about 5 km have complex histories because they are small enough for radiative torques, YORP, to be a notable factor in their evolution. (152830)…

Planet Formation Theory in the Era of ALMA and Kepler: from Pebbles to Exoplanets

Joanna Drazkowska, Bertram Bitsch, Michiel Lambrechts +7

Our understanding of planet formation has been rapidly evolving in recent years. The classical planet formation theory, developed when the only known planetary system was our own S…

Resilience of Planetesimal Formation in Weakly-Reinforced Pressure Bumps

Daniel Carrera, Andrew Thomas, Jacob B. Simon +3

The discovery that axisymmetric dust rings are ubiquitous in protoplanetary disks has provoked a flurry of research on the role of pressure bumps in planet formation. High-resoluti…

Linking planetary embryo formation to planetesimal formation II: The impact of pebble accretion in the terrestrial planet zone

Oliver Voelkel, Rogerio Deienno, Katherine Kretke +1

The accretion of pebbles on planetary cores has been widely studied in recent years and is found to be a highly effective mechanism for planetary growth. While most studies assume…

Linking planetary embryo formation to planetesimal formation I: The impact of the planetesimal surface density in the terrestrial planet zone

Oliver Voelkel, Rogerio Deienno, Katherine Kretke +1

The growth time scales of planetary embryos and their formation process are imperative for our understanding on how planetary systems form and develop. They determine the subsequen…

Protoplanetary Disk Rings as Sites for Planetesimal Formation

Daniel Carrera, Jacob B. Simon, Rixin Li +2

Axisymmetric dust rings are a ubiquitous feature of young protoplanetary disks. These rings are likely caused by pressure bumps in the gas profile; a small bump can induce a traffi…
