Intruder Alert: Breaking Resonant Chains with Planetesimal Flybys

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
The orbital architectures of compact “Kepler-multi” (KM) exoplanet systems record their complicated dynamical histories. The “breaking-the-chains” hypothesis proposes that compact systems typically form in chains of mean-motion resonances and ...

Gaia-GIC-1: An Evolving Catastrophic Planetesimal Collision Candidate

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
We report the discovery of the optical dipper and low-luminosity infrared stellar transient Gaia20ehk (hereafter, Gaia-GIC-1), which is currently undergoing high-amplitude variability due to transiting dusty material. In this work, we identify Gaia-GIC-1

Vom Staubkorn zum Planetesimal [PDF]

open access: yesPhysik in unserer Zeit, 2019
ZusammenfassungDurch astronomische Beobachtungen, numerische Simulationen und Laborexperimente sind wir erstmals in der Lage, ein in sich geschlossenes Bild der Entstehung der ersten größeren Körper in jungen Planetensystemen zu zeichnen. Mikroskopisch kleine Staubpartikel verklumpen durch haftende Stöße zu millimeter‐ bis zentimetergroßen Agglomeraten.

Fast Radio Bursts and Interstellar Objects

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are transient radio events with millisecond-scale durations and debated origins. Collisions between planetesimals and neutron stars (NSs) have been proposed as a mechanism to produce FRBs; the planetesimal strength, size, and ...

Evading the dust fragmentation barrier with the streaming instability in protoplanetary disks

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Context. The streaming instability (SI) is a leading candidate for reaching solid densities sufficient to trigger the gravitational collapse needed for the formation of planetesimals. However, dust growth barriers appear to impede the ability to assemble

Planetesimal Drift in Eccentric Disks: Possible Outward Migration

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Radial drift of solid particles in the protoplanetary disk is often invoked as a threat to planet formation, as it removes solid material from the disk before it can be assembled into planets.
