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…
Turning the knobs on dust evolution: Comparing codes, parameters and their effects on planet formation and disc observables
Linn E. J. Eriksson, Thomas Pfeil, Nicolas Kaufmann +1
Protoplanetary discs contain a wide range of dust sizes that influence their thermal structure and planet formation processes such as planetesimal formation and pebble accretion. D…
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…
Effects of Stellar X-ray Photoevaporation on Planetesimal Formation via the Streaming Instability
Xuchu Ying, Beibei Liu, Haifeng Yang +7
The formation of planetesimals via the streaming instability (SI) is a crucial step in planet formation, yet its triggering conditions and efficiency are highly sensitive to both d…
Dust Collisions in Protoplanetary Disks: Atomic Simulations of the Surface Free Energy
L. S. Morrissey, D. S. Ebel, L. E. J. Eriksson +4
Coagulation of dust particles in protoplanetary disks is the first step on the journey to the formation of planets. The surface free energy (SFE) of the dust particles determines t…
On Linking Planet Formation Models, Protoplanetary Disk Properties, and Mature Gas Giant Exoplanet Atmospheres
Adina D. Feinstein, Richard A. Booth, Jennifer B. Bergner +34
Measuring a single elemental ratio (e.g., carbon-to-oxygen) provides insufficient information for understanding the formation mechanisms and evolution that affect our observations…
Positive Feedback II: How Dust Coagulation inside Vortices Can Form Planetesimals at Low Metallicity
Daniel Carrera, Linn E. J. Eriksson, Jeonghoon Lim +2
The origin of planetesimals (100 km planet building blocks) has confounded astronomers for decades, as numerous growth barriers appear to impede their formation. In a recent…
Positive Feedback: How a Synergy Between the Streaming Instability and Dust Coagulation Forms Planetesimals
Daniel Carrera, Jeonghoon Lim, Linn E. J. Eriksson +2
One of the most important open questions in planet formation is how dust grains in a protoplanetary disk manage to overcome growth barriers and form the 100km planet building…
Planets and planetesimals at cosmic dawn: Vortices as planetary nurseries
Linn E. J. Eriksson, Shyam Menon, Daniel Carrera +2
Low-mass, metal-enriched stars were likely present as early as cosmic dawn. In this work, we investigate whether these stars could have hosted planets in their protoplanetary disks…
Particle fragmentation inside planet-induced spiral waves
Linn E. J. Eriksson, Chao-Chin Yang, Philip J. Armitage
Growing planets interact with their surrounding protoplanetary disk, generating feedback effects that may promote or suppress nearby planet formation. We study how spiral waves lau…
Can Uranus and Neptune form concurrently via pebble, gas and planetesimal accretion?
Linn E. J. Eriksson, Marit A. S. Mol Lous, Sho Shibata +1
The origin of Uranus and Neptune has long been challenging to explain, due to the large orbital distances from the Sun. After a planetary embryo has been formed, the main accretion…
A low accretion efficiency of planetesimals formed at planetary gap edges
Linn E. J. Eriksson, Thomas Ronnet, Anders Johansen +3
Observations and models of giant planets indicate that such objects are enriched in heavy elements compared to solar abundances. The prevailing view is that giant planets accreted…
The fate of planetesimals formed at planetary gap edges
L. E. J. Eriksson, T. Ronnet, A. Johansen
The presence of rings and gaps in protoplanetary discs are often ascribed to planet-disc interactions, where dust and pebbles are trapped at the edges of planetary induced gas gaps…
Pebble drift and planetesimal formation in protoplanetary discs with embedded planets
Linn E. J. Eriksson, Anders Johansen, Beibei Liu
Nearly-axisymmetric gaps and rings are commonly observed in protoplanetary discs. The leading theory regarding the origin of these patterns is that they are due to dust trapping at…
Circularizing Planet Nine through dynamical friction with an extended, cold planetesimal belt
Linn E. J. Eriksson, Alexander J. Mustill, Anders Johansen
Unexpected clustering in the orbital elements of minor bodies beyond the Kuiper belt has led to speculations that our solar system actually hosts nine planets, the eight establishe…
Atmospheric Signatures of Giant Exoplanet Formation by Pebble Accretion
Nikku Madhusudhan, Bertram Bitsch, Anders Johansen +1
Atmospheric chemical abundances of giant planets lead to important constraints on planetary formation and migration. Studies have shown that giant planets that migrate through the…
