  • Protoplanetary Disk Turbulence Driven by the Streaming Instability: Non-Linear Saturation and Particle Concentration
    Accepted for publication in ApJ A Preprint typeset using LTEX style emulateapj v. 02/07/07 PROTOPLANETARY DISK TURBULENCE DRIVEN BY THE STREAMING INSTABILITY: NON-LINEAR SATURATION AND PARTICLE CONCENTRATION A. Johansen1 Max-Planck-Institut f¨ur Astronomie, 69117 Heidelberg, Germany and A. Youdin2 Princeton University Observatory, Princeton, NJ 08544 Accepted for publication in ApJ ABSTRACT We present simulations of the non-linear evolution of streaming instabilities in protoplanetary disks. The two components of the disk, gas treated with grid hydrodynamics and solids treated as super- particles, are mutually coupled by drag forces. We find that the initially laminar equilibrium flow spontaneously develops into turbulence in our unstratified local model. Marginally coupled solids (that couple to the gas on a Keplerian time-scale) trigger an upward cascade to large particle clumps with peak overdensities above 100. The clumps evolve dynamically by losing material downstream to the radial drift flow while receiving recycled material from upstream. Smaller, more tightly coupled solids produce weaker turbulence with more transient overdensities on smaller length scales. The net inward radial drift is decreased for marginally coupled particles, whereas the tightly coupled particles migrate faster in the saturated turbulent state. The turbulent diffusion of solid particles, measured by their random walk, depends strongly on their stopping time and on the solids-to-gas ratio of the background state, but diffusion is generally modest, particularly for tightly coupled solids. Angular momentum transport is too weak and of the wrong sign to influence stellar accretion. Self-gravity and collisions will be needed to determine the relevance of particle overdensities for planetesimal formation.

  • Setting the Stage: Planet Formation and Volatile Delivery
    Noname manuscript No. (will be inserted by the editor) Setting the Stage: Planet formation and Volatile Delivery Julia Venturini1 · Maria Paula Ronco2;3 · Octavio Miguel Guilera4;2;3 Received: date / Accepted: date Abstract The diversity in mass and composition of planetary atmospheres stems from the different building blocks present in protoplanetary discs and from the different physical and chemical processes that these experience during the planetary assembly and evolution. This review aims to summarise, in a nutshell, the key concepts and processes operating during planet formation, with a focus on the delivery of volatiles to the inner regions of the planetary system. 1 Protoplanetary discs: the birthplaces of planets Planets are formed as a byproduct of star formation. In star forming regions like the Orion Nebula or the Taurus Molecular Cloud, many discs are observed around young stars (Isella et al, 2009; Andrews et al, 2010, 2018a; Cieza et al, 2019). Discs form around new born stars as a natural consequence of the collapse of the molecular cloud, to conserve angular momentum. As in the interstellar medium, it is generally assumed that they contain typically 1% of their mass in the form of rocky or icy grains, known as dust; and 99% in the form of gas, which is basically H2 and He (see, e.g., Armitage, 2010). However, the dust-to-gas ratios are usually higher in discs (Ansdell et al, 2016). There is strong observational evidence supporting the fact that planets form within those discs (Bae et al, 2017; Dong et al, 2018; Teague et al, 2018; Pérez et al, 2019), which are accordingly called protoplanetary discs.

  • The Multifaceted Planetesimal Formation Process
    The Multifaceted Planetesimal Formation Process Anders Johansen Lund University Jurgen¨ Blum Technische Universitat¨ Braunschweig Hidekazu Tanaka Hokkaido University Chris Ormel University of California, Berkeley Martin Bizzarro Copenhagen University Hans Rickman Uppsala University Polish Academy of Sciences Space Research Center, Warsaw Accumulation of dust and ice particles into planetesimals is an important step in the planet formation process. Planetesimals are the seeds of both terrestrial planets and the solid cores of gas and ice giants forming by core accretion. Left-over planetesimals in the form of asteroids, trans-Neptunian objects and comets provide a unique record of the physical conditions in the solar nebula. Debris from planetesimal collisions around other stars signposts that the planetesimal formation process, and hence planet formation, is ubiquitous in the Galaxy. The planetesimal formation stage extends from micrometer-sized dust and ice to bodies which can undergo run-away accretion. The latter ranges in size from 1 km to 1000 km, dependent on the planetesimal eccentricity excited by turbulent gas density fluctuations. Particles face many barriers during this growth, arising mainly from inefficient sticking, fragmentation and radial drift. Two promising growth pathways are mass transfer, where small aggregates transfer up to 50% of their mass in high-speed collisions with much larger targets, and fluffy growth, where aggregate cross sections and sticking probabilities are enhanced by a low internal density. A wide range of particle sizes, from mm to 10 m, concentrate in the turbulent gas flow. Overdense filaments fragment gravitationally into bound particle clumps, with most mass entering planetesimals of contracted radii from 100 to 500 km, depending on local disc properties.

  • The Formation of Jupiter by Hybrid Pebble-Planetesimal Accretion

The dominant size of the accreted solids (cm-size particles named pebbles or km to hundred km-size bodies named planetesimals) is, however, unknown1,2. Recently, high-precision measurements of isotopes in meteorites provided evidence for the existence of two reservoirs in the early Solar System3. These reservoirs remained separated from ~1 until ~ 3 Myr after the beginning of the Solar System's formation. This separation | downloaded: 6.1.2020 is interpreted as resulting from Jupiter growing and becoming a barrier for material transport. In this framework, Jupiter reached ~20 Earth masses (M⊕) within ~1 Myr and 3 slowly grew to ~50 M⊕ in the subsequent 2 Myr before reaching its present-day mass . The evidence that Jupiter slowed down its growth after reaching 20 M⊕ for at least 2 Myr is puzzling because a planet of this mass is expected to trigger fast runaway gas accretion4,5.

  • Planet Formation by Pebble Accretion in Ringed Disks A
    A&A 638, A1 (2020) https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/202037983 Astronomy & © A. Morbidelli 2020 Astrophysics Planet formation by pebble accretion in ringed disks A. Morbidelli Département Lagrange, University of Nice – Sophia Antipolis, CNRS, Observatoire de la Côte d’Azur, Nice, France e-mail: [email protected] Received 19 March 2020 / Accepted 9 April 2020 ABSTRACT Context. Pebble accretion is expected to be the dominant process for the formation of massive solid planets, such as the cores of giant planets and super-Earths. So far, this process has been studied under the assumption that dust coagulates and drifts throughout the full protoplanetary disk. However, observations show that many disks are structured in rings that may be due to pressure maxima, preventing the global radial drift of the dust. Aims. We aim to study how the pebble-accretion paradigm changes if the dust is confined in a ring. Methods. Our approach is mostly analytic. We derived a formula that provides an upper bound to the growth of a planet as a function of time. We also numerically implemented the analytic formulæ to compute the growth of a planet located in a typical ring observed in the DSHARP survey, as well as in a putative ring rescaled at 5 AU. Results. Planet Type I migration is stopped in a ring, but not necessarily at its center. If the entropy-driven corotation torque is desaturated, the planet is located in a region with low dust density, which severely limits its accretion rate. If the planet is instead near the ring’s center, its accretion rate can be similar to the one it would have in a classic (ringless) disk of equivalent dust density.

  • Circularizing Planet Nine Through Dynamical Friction with an Extended, Cold Planetesimal Belt
    MNRAS 000,1{9 (2017) Preprint 6 November 2018 Compiled using MNRAS LATEX style file v3.0 Circularizing Planet Nine through dynamical friction with an extended, cold planetesimal belt Linn E.J. Eriksson,1? Alexander J. Mustill,1 Anders Johansen1 1Lund Observatory, Department of Astronomy and Theoretical Physics, Lund University, Box 43, SE-221 00 Lund, Sweden Accepted XXX. Received YYY; in original form ZZZ ABSTRACT Unexpected clustering in the orbital elements of minor bodies beyond the Kuiper belt has led to speculations that our solar system actually hosts nine planets, the eight established plus a hypothetical \Planet Nine". Several recent studies have shown that a planet with a mass of about 10 Earth masses on a distant eccentric orbit with perihelion far beyond the Kuiper belt could create and maintain this clustering. The evolutionary path resulting in an orbit such as the one suggested for Planet Nine is nevertheless not easily explained. Here we investigate whether a planet scattered away from the giant-planet region could be lifted to an orbit similar to the one suggested for Planet Nine through dynamical friction with a cold, distant planetesimal belt. Recent simulations of planetesimal formation via the streaming instability suggest that planetesimals can readily form beyond 100 au. We explore this circularisation by dynamical friction with a set of numerical simulations. We find that a planet that is scattered from the region close to Neptune onto an eccentric orbit has a 20-30% chance of obtaining an orbit similar to that of Planet Nine after 4:6 Gyr. Our simulations also result in strong or partial clustering of the planetesimals; however, whether or not this clustering is observable depends on the location of the inner edge of the planetesimal belt.

This process is poorly understood partly because we lack good observational constraints on the complex physical processes that contribute to planetesimal formation [1]. In the outer solar system, the best place to look for clues is the Kuiper belt, where icy planetesimals survived to this day. Here we re- port evidence that Kuiper belt planetesimals formed by the streaming instability, a process in which aerodynamically concentrated clumps of pebbles gravitation- ally collapse into ∼100-km-class bodies [2]. Gravitational collapse was previously suggested to explain the ubiquity of equal-size binaries in the Kuiper belt [3,4,5]. We analyze new hydrodynamical simulations of the streaming instability to de- termine the model expectations for the spatial orientation of binary orbits.
