Journal ArticleDOI

Rapid planetesimal formation in turbulent circumstellar disks

TL;DR: It is reported that boulders can undergo efficient gravitational collapse in locally overdense regions in the midplane of the disk, and it is found that gravitationally bound clusters form with masses comparable to dwarf planets and containing a distribution of boulder sizes.
Journal ArticleDOI

A simple model for the evolution of the dust population in protoplanetary disks

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple model that follows the upper end of the dust size distribution and the evolution of the surface density profile was developed to derive simple equations that explain the global evolution and the upper limit of the grain size distribution, which can be used for further modeling or for interpreting of observational data.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of gas drag on the growth of protoplanets. Analytical expressions for the accretion of small bodies in laminar disks

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of gas drag on the impact radii and the accretion rates of these particles were investigated, and a laminar disk characterized by a smooth pressure gradient that causes particles to drift in radially.
Journal ArticleDOI

Turbulence in Accretion Disks: Vorticity Generation and Angular Momentum Transport via the Global Baroclinic Instability

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the global baroclinic instability as a source for vigorous turbulence leading to angular momentum transport in Keplerian accretion disks, and demonstrate in a global simulation that these vortices tend to form out of little background noise and to be long-lasting features.
