Planet formation by pebble accretion in ringed disks [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2020 Context. Pebble accretion is expected to be the dominant process for the formation of massive solid planets, such as the cores of giant planets and super-Earths.

An Analytical Theory for the Growth from Planetesimals to Planets by Polydisperse Pebble Accretion
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Pebble accretion is recognized as a significant accelerator of planet formation. Yet only formulae for single-sized (monodisperse) distribution have been derived in the literature.

Early planet formation as a trigger for further planet formation [PDF]
, 1999 Recent discoveries of extrasolar planets at small orbital radii, or with significant eccentricities, indicate that interactions between massive planets and the disks of gas and dust from which they formed are vital for determining the final shape of ...

Setting the Stage: Planet Formation and Volatile Delivery [PDF]
, 2020 The diversity in mass and composition of planetary atmospheres stems from the different building blocks present in protoplanetary discs and from the different physical and chemical processes that these experience during the planetary assembly and ...

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We construct a one-dimensional protoplanetary disk model to investigate long-term disk evolution from molecular cloud core collapse. To obtain details of disk evolution, instead of solving the traditional diffusion equation for disk surface density, we ...

The interplay between X-ray photoevaporation and planet formation [PDF]
, 2013 We assess the potential of planet formation instigating the early formation of a photoevaporation driven gap, up to radii larger than typical for photoevaporation alone.

Stokes trapping and planet formation [PDF]
, 2007 It is believed that planets are formed by aggregation of dust particles suspended in the turbulent gas forming accretion disks around developing stars. We describe a mechanism, termed 'Stokes trapping', by which turbulence limits the growth of aggregates

, 2016 Planets are thought to form in the circumstellar disks orbiting young stars in formation. According to the core-accretion model, a candidate scenario for Earth-like planets, the interstellar sub-$\mu$m-sized dust particles grow thanks to collisions to mm/cm size and then form km-sized planetesimals via dynamical encounters.
