Particle fragmentation inside planet-induced spiral waves
Linn E. J. Eriksson, Chao-Chin Yang, Philip J. Armitage
Growing planets interact with their surrounding protoplanetary disk, generating feedback effects that may promote or suppress nearby planet formation. We study how spiral waves lau…
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…
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…
Dust-gas dynamics driven by the streaming instability with various pressure gradients
Stanley A. Baronett, Chao-Chin Yang, Zhaohuan Zhu
The streaming instability, a promising mechanism to drive planetesimal formation in dusty protoplanetary discs, relies on aerodynamic drag naturally induced by the background radia…
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…
