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…
Turbulent Dust-trapping Rings as Efficient Sites for Planetesimal Formation
Ziyan Xu, Xue-Ning Bai
Recent observations of protoplanetary disks (PPDs) in the sub-mm have revealed the ubiquity of annular substructures, indicative of pebble-sized dust particles trapped in turbulent…
Dust Settling and Clumping in MRI Turbulent Outer Protoplanetary Disks
Ziyan Xu, Xue-Ning Bai
Planetesimal formation is a crucial yet poorly understood process in planet formation. It is widely believed that planetesimal formation is the outcome of dust clumping by the stre…
Pebble Accretion in Turbulent Protoplanetary Disks
Ziyan Xu, Xue-Ning Bai, Ruth Murray-Clay
It has been realized in recent years that the accretion of pebble-sized dust particles onto planetary cores is an important mode of core growth, which enables the formation of gian…
