Concentrating small particles in protoplanetary disks through the streaming instability
Chao-Chin Yang, Anders Johansen, Daniel Carrera
Laboratory experiments indicate that direct growth of silicate grains via mutual collisions can only produce particles up to roughly millimeters in size. On the other hand, recent…
Survival of habitable planets in unstable planetary systems
Daniel Carrera, Melvyn B. Davies, Anders Johansen
Many observed giant planets lie on eccentric orbits. Such orbits could be the result of strong scatterings with other giant planets. The same dynamical instability that produces th…
How to form asteroids from mm-sized grains
Daniel Carrera, Anders Johansen, Melvyn B. Davies
The size distribution of asteroids in the solar system suggests that they formed top-down, with 100-1000 km bodies forming from the gravitational collapse of dense clumps of small…
