The Edges of Planetary Systems: Falling Off the Kuiper Cliff in a Dissipating Gas Disk
The Astrophysical JournalProbably the last planetesimals to have formed from dust in the solar nebula are cold classical Kuiper Belt Objects (CCKBOs). To the extent that they are isolated and unchanged since birth, CCKBOs offer direct insights into nebular processes.

Planet formation in slightly inclined binary systems
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2011 One of the major problems of planet formation in close binary systems, such as α Centauri AB, is the formation of planetary embryos or cores by mutual accretion of km-sized planetesimals.

A low-temperature origin for the planetesimals that formed Jupiter [PDF]
, 1999 The four giant planets in the Solar System have abundances of 'metals' (elements heavier than helium), relative to hydrogen, that are much higher than observed in the Sun. In order to explain this, all models for the formation of these planets rely on an

The Astrophysical JournalDebris disks or exo-Kuiper belts, detected through their thermal or scattered emission from their dusty components, are ubiquitous around main-sequence stars.

Oligarchic Growth of Protoplanets in Planetesimal Rings
The Astrophysical JournalIn the standard planet formation scenario, planetesimals are assumed to form throughout the protoplanetary disk and to be smoothly distributed in the radial direction except for the snowline.

Vega's hot dust from icy planetesimals scattered inward by an outward-migrating planetary system
, 2014 International audienceVega 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.

Silica-rich volcanism in the early solar system dated at 4.565 Ga
Nature Communications, 2018 Achondritic meteorites can record volcanism and crust formation on planetesimals in the early Solar System. Here, the authors date the Northwest Africa 11119 meteorite with an Al-Mg age of 4564.8 ± 0.3 Ma indicating that this is the earliest evidence of ...

The Formation of Planetesimals through Gravitational Collapse
Thesis (Ph.D.)--Michigan State University. Earth and Environmental Sciences \u2013 Doctor of Philosophy, 2026To form an effective narrative of the solar system's origins and the formation of the planets, it is crucial to understand the creation of key ...

Turbulence Inhibits Planetesimal Formation in Class 0/I Disks Subject to Infall
The Astrophysical JournalThere is growing evidence that planet formation begins early, within the ≲1 Myr Class 0/I phase, when infall dominates disk dynamics. Our goal is to determine if Class 0/I disks reach the conditions needed to form planetesimals (∼100 km planet building ...
