Vertical settling of pebbles in turbulent circumbinary discs and the in situ formation of circumbinary planets
Arnaud Pierens, Richard P. Nelson, Colin P. McNally
The inner-most regions of circumbinary discs are unstable to a parametric instability whose non-linear evolution is hydrodynamical turbulence. This results in significant particle…
Polydisperse Streaming Instability II. Methods for solving the linear stability problem
Sijme-Jan Paardekooper, Colin P. McNally, Francesco Lovascio
Occurring in protoplanetary discs composed of dust and gas, streaming instabilities are a favoured mechanism to drive the formation of planetesimals. The Polydispserse Streaming In…
Polydisperse Streaming Instability III. Dust evolution encourages fast instability
Colin P. McNally, Francesco Lovascio, Sijme-Jan Paardekooper
Planet formation via core accretion requires the production of km-sized planetesimals from cosmic dust. This process must overcome barriers to simple collisional growth, for which…
