Evolution of Debris Disks
TLDR
In this article, a review describes the theoretical framework within which debris disk evolution takes place and shows how that framework has been constrained by observations, including infrared photometry of large numbers of debris disks, providing snapshots of the dust present at different evolutionary phases.Abstract:
Circumstellar dust exists around several hundred main sequence stars. For the youngest stars, that dust could be a remnant of the protoplanetary disk. Mostly it is inferred to be continuously replenished through collisions between planetesimals in belts analogous to the Solar System’s asteroid and Kuiper belts, or in collisions between growing protoplanets. The evolution of a star’s debris disk is indicative of the evolution of its planetesimal belts and may be influenced by planet formation processes, which can continue throughout the first gigayear as the planetary system settles to a stable configuration and planets form at large radii. Evidence for that evolution comes from infrared photometry of large numbers of debris disks, providing snapshots of the dust present at different evolutionary phases, as well as from images of debris disk structure. This review describes the theoretical framework within which debris disk evolution takes place and shows how that framework has been constrained by observations.read more

The formation of pluto's low-mass satellites
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider how Pluto's small satellites grow in debris from the giant impact that forms the Pluto-Charon binary and demonstrate migration-induced mergers within a particle disk.

From Disks to Planets
Andrew N. Youdin,Scott J. Kenyon +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors cover the theory of planet formation, with an emphasis on the physical processes relevant to current research, including the core accretion instability and the possibility that gas disks fragment directly into giant planets and/or brown dwarfs.

TL;DR: In this article, the growth of 100 km-scale planetesimals as a consequence of dust coagulation and concentration, with current models favoring the streaming instability, is discussed.
