The effect of dust on vortices II: Streaming instabilities
Nathan Magnan, Henrik Nils Latter
One of the main questions in planet formation theory is how to cross the metre-scale barrier. In this two-part series, we assess the merits of vortex-based theories by investigatin…

The effect of dust on vortices I: Laminar models
Nathan Magnan, Henrik Nils Latter
One of the main questions regarding planet formation is how to cross the metre-scale barrier. Several theories rely on the formation of dust clumps dense enough to collapse under t…

The physical mechanism of the streaming instability
Nathan Magnan, Tobias Heinemann, Henrik N. Latter
The main hurdle of planet formation theory is the metre-scale barrier. One of the most promising ways to overcome it is via the streaming instability (SI). Unfortunately, the mecha…
