Individual and collective behavior of dust particles in a protoplanetary nebula
P. Garaud, L. Barrière-Fouchet, D. N. C. Lin
We study the interaction between gas and dust particles in a protoplanetary disk, comparing analytical and numerical results. We first calculate analytically the trajectories of in…
