Catching drifting pebbles I. Enhanced pebble accretion efficiencies for eccentric planets
Beibei Liu, Chris W. Ormel
Coagulation theory predicts that micron-sized dust grains grow into pebbles which drift inward towards the star, when they reach sizes of mm-cm. When they cross the orbit of a plan…

Catching drifting pebbles II. A stochastic equation of motions for pebbles
Chris W. Ormel, Beibei Liu
Turbulence plays a key role in the transport of pebble-sized particles. It also affects the ability of pebbles to be accreted by protoplanets, because it stirs pebbles out of the d…
