Revisiting planetesimal formation from mm-sized grains in pressure bumps
Tabassum S Tanvir, Jacob B Simon, Daniel Carrera +1
We present evidence that the streaming instability (SI) can form planetesimals from millimeter grains inside axisymmetric pressure bumps, provided the bump is not too strongly rein…
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…
Azimuthal Dust Polarization from Aerodynamically Aligned Grains as Evidence for the Streaming Instability in Protoplanetary Disks
Zhe-Yu Daniel Lin, Jeonghoon Lim, Jacob B. Simon +8
(Sub)millimeter dust polarization in protoplanetary disks has revealed the presence of large (~ 100 um) dust grains that are aligned along their long axis following the azimuthal d…
