A Comparative Study of the Streaming Instability: Unstratified Models with Marginally Coupled Grains
Stanley A. Baronett, Wladimir Lyra, Hossam Aly +19
The streaming instability is a leading mechanism for concentrating solids and initiating planetesimal formation in protoplanetary disks. Although numerous studies have explored its…
Conditions for planetesimal formation via the streaming instability persist under turbulence driven by magnetorotational instability
Linn E. J. Eriksson, Ziyan Xu, Jeonghoon Lim +3
Strong dust clumping by streaming instability (SI) is the leading proposed mechanism for forming planetesimals, the building blocks of terrestrial planets and giant-planet cores. T…
Leaky Dust Traps in Planet-Embedded Protoplanetary Disks
Pinghui Huang, Fangyuan Yu, Eve J. Lee +2
From the survival of dust disks for a few Myr to the establishment of chemical dichotomy, dust traps are expected to play a pivotal role in sculpting protoplanetary disks and the e…
The Interplay between Dust Dynamics and Turbulence Induced by the Vertical Shear Instability
Pinghui Huang, Xue-Ning Bai
The interaction between gas and dust in protoplanetary disks (PPDs) plays a crucial role in setting the stage of planet formation. In particular, the streaming instability (SI) is…
Dust Clumping in Outer Protoplanetary Disks: the Interplay Among Four Instabilities
Pinghui Huang, Xue-Ning Bai
Dust concentration in protoplanetary disks (PPDs) is the first step towards planetesimal formation, a crucial yet highly uncertain stage in planet formation. Although the streaming…
