When and why formation of large bodies in circumstellar discs could take place?

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
We outlined the scenario of the planetary system formation, where large bodies are formed on the stage of massive discs. On this stage the whole of factors: chemical composition, chemical catalytic reactions, the disc self- gravitation, the increased ...

Metallicity of the Massive Protoplanets Around HR 8799 If Formed by Gravitational Instability

open access: yes, 2009
The final composition of giant planets formed as a result of gravitational instability in the disk gas depends on their ability to capture solid material (planetesimals) during their 'pre-collapse' stage, when they are extended and cold, and contracting ...

A gap in the planetesimal disc around HD 107146 and asymmetric warm dust emission revealed by ALMA [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018
While detecting low-mass exoplanets at tens of au is beyond current instrumentation, debris discs provide a unique opportunity to study the outer regions of planetary systems.

The Oxygen Isotopic Composition of Samples Returned from Asteroid Ryugu with Implications for the Nature of the Parent Planetesimal

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal, 2023
We present oxygen isotopic analyses of fragments of the near-Earth C _b -type asteroid Ryugu returned by the Hayabusa2 spacecraft that reinforce the close correspondence between Ryugu and CI chondrites.

Circumbinary Planet Formation in the Kepler-16 system. I. N-body Simulations

open access: yes, 2012
The recently discovered circumbinary planets (Kepler-16 b, Kepler-34 b, Kepler-35 b) represent the first direct evidence of the viability of planet formation in circumbinary orbits.

A Population Synthesis Study on the Formation of Cold Jupiters from Truncated Planetesimal Disks

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The occurrence rate of giant planets increases with orbital period and turns over at a location that roughly corresponds to the snowline of solar-type stars.

Bubbles to Chondrites-II. Chemical fractionations in chondrites

open access: yesProgress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2021
We attempt to develop a possible theory of chemical fractionations in chondrites, that is consistent with various features of chondritic components and current observation of protoplanetary disks (PPD).

Accretion Bursts in Young Intermediate-mass Stars Make Planet Formation Challenging

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We investigate the occurrence of accretion bursts, dust accumulation, and the prospects for planetesimal formation in a gravitationally unstable magnetized protoplanetary disk (PPD) with globally suppressed but episodically triggered magnetorotational ...

Vega's hot dust from icy planetesimals scattered inward by an outward-migrating planetary system

open access: yes, 2014
Vega has been shown to host multiple dust populations, including both hot exo-zodiacal dust at sub-AU radii and a cold debris disk extending beyond 100 AU.

Evidence for Universality in the Initial Planetesimal Mass Function [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Planetesimals may form from the gravitational collapse of dense particle clumps initiated by the streaming instability. We use simulations of aerodynamically coupled gas–particle mixtures to investigate whether the properties of planetesimals formed in ...
