Accreting Transition Discs with large cavities created by X-ray photoevaporation in C and O depleted discs
Barbara Ercolano, Michael L. Weber, James E. Owen
Circumstellar discs with large dust depleted cavities and vigorous accretion onto the central star are often considered signposts for (multiple) giant planet formation. In this let…
X-ray photoevaporation's limited success in the formation of planetesimals by the streaming instability
Barbara Ercolano, Jeff Jennings, Giovanni Rosotti +1
The streaming instability is often invoked as solution to the fragmentation and drift barriers in planetesimal formation, catalyzing the aggregation of dust on kyr timescales to gr…
The Dispersal of Planet-forming discs: Theory confronts Observations
Barbara Ercolano, Ilaria Pascucci
Discs of gas and dust around Myr-old stars are a by-product of the star formation process and provide the raw material to form planets. Hence, their evolution and dispersal directl…
