Just a Phase? Weakening Vertical Shear Instability Explains Class II Disk Morphologies: Simulations with dust coagulation, sedimentation, thermal relaxation, and backreaction
Thomas Pfeil, Alexandros Ziampras, Shangjia Zhang +2
The Vertical Shear Instability (VSI) is known to create turbulence and strong vertical mixing in protoplanetary disks if thermal relaxation is sufficiently fast. In simulations whe…
Turning the knobs on dust evolution: Comparing codes, parameters and their effects on planet formation and disc observables
Linn E. J. Eriksson, Thomas Pfeil, Nicolas Kaufmann +1
Protoplanetary discs contain a wide range of dust sizes that influence their thermal structure and planet formation processes such as planetesimal formation and pebble accretion. D…
Planet formation at the inner edge of the dead zone I. the interplay between accretion outbursts and dust growth
Alexandros Ziampras, Tilman Birnstiel, Nicolas Kaufmann +2
The inner edge of the dead zone in protoplanetary disks has been shown to periodically go unstable, leading to accretion outbursts and annular substructure within the dead zone. Wh…
Dust Collisions in Protoplanetary Disks: Atomic Simulations of the Surface Free Energy
L. S. Morrissey, D. S. Ebel, L. E. J. Eriksson +4
Coagulation of dust particles in protoplanetary disks is the first step on the journey to the formation of planets. The surface free energy (SFE) of the dust particles determines t…
Fragmentation-limited dust filtration in 2D simulations of planet-disk systems with dust coagulation. Parameter study and implications for the inner disk's dust mass budget and composition
Thomas Pfeil, Philip J. Armitage, Yan-Fei Jiang
Super-thermal gas giant planets or their progenitor cores are known to open deep gaps in protoplanetary disks, which stop large, drifting dust particles on their way to the inner d…
TriPoD: Tri-Population size distributions for Dust evolution. Coagulation in vertically integrated hydrodynamic simulations of protoplanetary disks
Thomas Pfeil, Til Birnstiel, Hubert Klahr
Context. Dust coagulation and fragmentation impact the structure and evolution of protoplanetary disks and set the initial conditions for planet formation. Dust grains dominate the…
