• Planetesimal formation by streaming instability around the snowline • Formation of the TRAPPIST-1 planets From dust to planets

Not to scale! (not even to log-scale) Streaming instability
• Mechanism to directly form planetesimals from pebbles • Requires local solids-to-gas ratio of order unity

• Planetesimal formation in our TRAPPIST-1 model starts after a few 10^3 years
• First planet embryo migrates across the snowline after a few 10^4 years
• Without migration, planetesimal formation is a self-limiting process (because pebble flux goes down due to pebble accretion as planetesimal mass grows)
• Icy pebble accretion versus rocky pebble accretion after iceline-crossing determines bulk composition of TRAPPIST-1 planets
• PRELIMINARY: water fractions of a few percent seem to be feasible
