Oligarchic Growth of Protoplanets in Planetesimal Rings

The Astrophysical Journal
In 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.

Vom Staubkorn zum Planetesimal [PDF]

Physik 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.

Argon in β Pictoris–Entrapment and Release of Volatile in Disks

The Astrophysical Journal
Chemical compositions of planets reveal much about their formation environments. Such information is well sought-after in studies of solar system bodies and extrasolar ones.

Turbulence Inhibits Planetesimal Formation in Class 0/I Disks Subject to Infall

The Astrophysical Journal
There 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 ...

Origins of Mercury’s Big Heart of Iron: Exploring Pathways to Form High Core Mass Fraction Planets via N-body Simulations

The Astrophysical Journal
Mercury’s core mass fraction (CMF) is 0.7, more than double that of the other rocky planets in the solar system, which have CMFs of 0.3 or lower. The origin of Mercury’s large, iron-rich core remains unknown. Adding to this mystery, an elusive population

Early Solar System Turbulence Constrained by High Oxidation States in the Oldest Noncarbonaceous Planetesimals

The Planetary Science Journal
Early solar system (SS) planetesimals constitute the parent bodies of most meteorites investigated today. Nucleosynthetic isotope anomalies of bulk meteorites have revealed a dichotomy between noncarbonaceous (NC) and carbonaceous (CC) groups ...

Considering Contact Forces during the Formation of Planetesimals by Gravitational Collapse: Mutual Orbits, Spin States, and Shapes

The Astrophysical Journal
In this work, we apply a soft-sphere discrete element method (SSDEM) within the PKDGRAV N -body integrator to investigate the formation of planetesimal systems through the gravitational collapse of clouds of superparticles. Previously published numerical

Gas Pressure Driven Screening Forces and Pebble Aggregation: A Pathway for Growth in Planet Formation

The Astrophysical Journal
The formation of planetesimals from centimeter-sized pebbles in protoplanetary disks faces significant barriers, including fragmentation and radial drift.

The Decline and Fall of ROME. V. A Preliminary Search for Star-disrupted Planet Interactions and Coronal Activity at 5 GHz among White Dwarfs within 25 pc

The Astrophysical Journal
The recent discovery of planetesimals orbiting white dwarfs has renewed interest in the final chapters of the evolution of planetary systems. Although observational and theoretical studies have examined the dynamical evolution of these systems, studies ...
