Bertram Bitsch (Lund) Formation of giant planets October 2016 1 / 25 The four steps of planet formation
1 Dust to pebbles µm dm: contact forces during collision lead to sticking → 2 Pebbles to planetesimals dm km: gravitational collapse of pebble clouds form planetesimals → 3 Planetesimals to protoplanets km 1,000 km: gravity (run-away accretion) → 4 Protoplanets to planets 7 Gas giants: 10 M⊕ core accretes gas (< 10 years) Terrestrial planets: protoplanets collide (107–108 years)

Bertram Bitsch (Lund) Formation of giant planets October 2016 3 / 25 Classical scenario of giant planet formation
(Pollack et al. 1996)
Large planetesimals used for accretion Planesimal density of a few MMSN needed to make cores at 5AU Growth timescale increases strongly× with orbital distance Making giant planet cores at large r with Z = Z very tough! ⇒ Bertram Bitsch (Lund) Formation of giant planets October 2016 4 / 25 Accretion of small planetesimals
accretion of small planetesimals (1km in size) very inefficient accretion scattering of planetesimals by embryos: aerodynamic drag removes planesimals from the embryos and places them outside their orbits Migration of embryo results in more scattering and not accretion (Tanaka & Ida 1999) Growth only possible if cores stocastically jump into new feeding zones? ⇒ Core accretion via planetesimals very tough! (Levison et al. 2010) But what about even smaller objects? ⇒ Bertram Bitsch (Lund) Formation of giant planets October 2016 5 / 25 Remember radial drift v Kep (1− η )
F F G P
Disc is hotter and denser close to the star: radial pressure gradient
Radial pressure gradient force mimics decreased gravity ⇒ gas orbits slower than Keplerian:
1 H 2 ∂ ln(P) η = − 2 r ∂ ln(r)
Particles do not feel the pressure gradient force and want to orbit Keplerian
Headwind from sub-Keplerian gas drains angular momentum from particles, so they spiral in through the disc
Bertram Bitsch (Lund) Formation of giant planets October 2016 6 / 25 Pebble accretion in the Hill regime
Most planetesimals are simply scattered by the protoplanet Pebbles spiral in towards the protoplanet due to gas friction Pebbles are accreted from ⇒ the entire Hill sphere Accretion rate by pebble accretion in Hill regime

Bertram Bitsch (Lund) Formation of giant planets October 2016 7 / 25 Pebble accretion regimes
∆v: Orbital speed of gas and pebbles relative to Keplerian speed vH = ΩRH: Approach speed of gas and pebbles at the edge of the Hill sphere Two main pebble accretion regimes: (Lambrechts & Johansen, 2012)
1 Bondi regime (when ∆v vH) Particles pass the core with speed ∆v, giving M˙ R2 M2 ∝ B ∝ 2 Hill regime (when ∆v vH) Particles enter Hill sphere with speed v ΩR , giving M˙ M2/3 H ≈ H ∝ Bertram Bitsch (Lund) Formation of giant planets October 2016 8 / 25 Importance of the initial seed mass
(Visser & Ormel, 2016)(Lambrechts & Johansen, 2012) Minimum mass for pebble accretion to work: 100 km Maximum sizes of planetesimals from Streaming∼ Instability are in that regime: see T. Birnstiel! Growth in⇒ Bondi (drift) regime slow; Pebble transition mass: q 3 1 (ηvK) Mt = 3 GΩK

Pebble accretion in 3D discs with pure hydro, ideal MHD and ambipolar diffusion (AD) Accretion rates match very well for different disc set-ups Simulations follow trend of the theoretical predictions of pebble accretion for both accretion regimes
Bertram Bitsch (Lund) Formation of giant planets October 2016 10 / 25 Dust gaps in discs: Pebble isolation mass
Gaps in dust disc are wider than in the gas disc (Paardekooper & Mellema, 2006)
Pebble isolation mass:
H/r 3 Miso = 20 M 0.05 Earth
(Lambrechts et al., 2014) Pebble accretion self-terminates: no accretion of solids any more! ⇒ After pebble isolation mass is reached, gas accretion can start! ⇒ Bertram Bitsch (Lund) Formation of giant planets October 2016 11 / 25 The critical core mass
Protoplanets grow at the pebble accretion rate until pebble accretion is halted abruptly The envelope is then supercritical and collapses onto the core Gives an excellent fit to Jupiter’s and Saturn’s heavy elements (Lambrechts et al., 2014) Gas giants in wide orbits must have large cores masses (50-100 ME) Explains dichotomy between ice giants and gas giants

Bertram Bitsch (Lund) Formation of giant planets October 2016 13 / 25 Planet Migration in a slide
Lindblad torques drive strong inward migration:a ˙ q ∝ Corotation torque can drive outward migration, but depends on gradients in Σg and T (Paardekooper & Mellema, 2006; Baruteau & Masset, 2008) Giant planets open gaps in disc, where the gap opening depends on H/r and α (Crida et al. 2006; Crida & Morbidelli 2007)
Giant planets migrate (maybe) with viscous accretion rate (Lin & Papaloizou, 1986)
