Dust-to-gas ratio resurgence in circumstellar disks due to the formation of giant planets: the case of HD 163296 [PDF]
, 2019 The amount of dust present in circumstellar disks is expected to steadily decrease with age due to the growth from micron-sized particles to planetesimals and planets. Mature circumstellar disks, however, can be observed to contain significant amounts of

Planetesimal Accretion at Short Orbital Periods
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Formation models in which terrestrial bodies grow via the pairwise accretion of planetesimals have been reasonably successful at reproducing the general properties of the Solar System, including small-body populations. However, planetesimal accretion has

The unexpected narrowness of eccentric debris rings: a sign of eccentricity during the protoplanetary disc phase [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 This paper shows that the eccentric debris rings seen around the stars Fomalhaut and HD 202628 are narrower than expected in the standard eccentric planet perturbation scenario (sometimes referred to as ‘pericentre glow’). The standard scenario posits an

A Long‐Lived Planetesimal Dynamo Powered by Core Crystallization
Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 The existence of numerous iron meteorite groups indicates that some planetesimals underwent melting that led to metal‐silicate segregation, sometimes producing metallic cores.

Planetesimal formation starts at the snow line [PDF]
, 2017 Planetesimal formation stage represents a major gap in our understanding of the planet formation process. The late-stage planet accretion models typically make arbitrary assumptions about planetesimals and pebbles distribution while the dust evolution ...

Rapid Dust Growth during Hydrodynamic Clumping due to Streaming Instability
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Streaming instability is considered to be one of the dominant processes in promoting planetesimal formation by the gravitational collapse of dust clumps.

Wind-shearing in gaseous protoplanetary disks
, 2010 One of the first stages of planet formation is the growth of small planetesimals and their accumulation into large planetesimals and planetary embryos. This early stage occurs much before the dispersal of most of the gas from the protoplanetary disk. Due

Planetesimal Initial Mass Functions Following Diffusion-regulated Gravitational Collapse
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The initial mass function (IMF) of planetesimals is of key importance for understanding the initial stages of planet formation, yet theoretical predictions so far have been insufficient in explaining the variety of IMFs found in simulations.

Wind-shearing in gaseous protoplanetary disks and the evolution of binary planetesimals
, 2011 One of the first stages of planet formation is the growth of small planetesimals. This early stage occurs much before the dispersal of most of the gas from the protoplanetary disk. Due to their different aerodynamic properties, planetesimals of different
