Forming planets via pebble accretion

A Johansen, M Lambrechts - Annual Review of Earth and …, 2017 - annualreviews.org
The detection and characterization of large populations of pebbles in protoplanetary disks
have motivated the study of pebble accretion as a driver of planetary growth. This review …

Dust evolution and the formation of planetesimals

T Birnstiel, M Fang, A Johansen - Space Science Reviews, 2016 - Springer
The solid content of circumstellar disks is inherited from the interstellar medium: dust
particles of at most a micrometer in size. Protoplanetary disks are the environment where …

Bifurcation of planetary building blocks during Solar System formation

T Lichtenberg, J Dra̧żkowska, M Schönbächler… - Science, 2021 - science.org
Geochemical and astronomical evidence demonstrates that planet formation occurred in two
spatially and temporally separated reservoirs. The origin of this dichotomy is unknown. We …

Planet formation theory in the era of ALMA and Kepler: from pebbles to exoplanets

J Drazkowska, B Bitsch, M Lambrechts… - ar** by the streaming instability
R Li, AN Youdin - The Astrophysical Journal, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
The streaming instability (SI) is a mechanism to aerodynamically concentrate solids in
protoplanetary disks and trigger the formation of planetesimals. The SI produces strong …

Origin of water in the inner Solar System: Planetesimals scattered inward during Jupiter and Saturn's rapid gas accretion

SN Raymond, A Izidoro - Icarus, 2017 - Elsevier
There is a long-standing debate regarding the origin of the terrestrial planets' water as well
as the hydrated C-type asteroids. Here we show that the inner Solar System's water is a …

Pebble-isolation mass: Scaling law and implications for the formation of super-Earths and gas giants

B Bitsch, A Morbidelli, A Johansen, E Lega… - Astronomy & …, 2018 - aanda.org
The growth of a planetary core by pebble accretion stops at the so-called pebble isolation
mass, when the core generates a pressure bump that traps drifting pebbles outside its orbit …

Formation of planetary systems by pebble accretion and migration-How the radial pebble flux determines a terrestrial-planet or super-Earth growth mode

M Lambrechts, A Morbidelli, SA Jacobson… - Astronomy & …, 2019 - aanda.org
Super-Earths–planets with sizes between the Earth and Neptune–are found in tighter orbits
than that of the Earth around more than one third of main sequence stars. It has been …

The growth of planets by pebble accretion in evolving protoplanetary discs

B Bitsch, M Lambrechts, A Johansen - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2015 - aanda.org
The formation of planets depends on the underlying protoplanetary disc structure, which in
turn influences both the accretion and migration rates of embedded planets. The disc itself …
