Observations of protoplanetary disk structures
SM Andrews - Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2020 - annualreviews.org
The disks that orbit young stars are the essential conduits and reservoirs of material for star
and planet formation. Their structures, meaning the spatial variations of the disk physical …

Gravitational instabilities in circumstellar disks
Star and planet formation are the complex outcomes of gravitational collapse and angular
momentum transport mediated by protostellar and protoplanetary disks. In this review, we …

The multifaceted planetesimal formation process
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 …

The eccentric cavity, triple rings, two-armed spirals, and double clumps of the MWC 758 disk
Spatially resolved structures in protoplanetary disks hint at unseen planets. Previous
imaging observations of the transitional disk around MWC 758 revealed an inner cavity, a …

Asteroids were born big
How big were the first planetesimals? We attempt to answer this question by conducting
coagulation simulations in which the planetesimals grow by mutual collisions and form …

Forming planetesimals in solar and extrasolar nebulae
Planets are built from planetesimals: solids larger than a kilometer that grow by colliding in
pairs. Planetesimals themselves are unlikely to form by two-body collisions alone; …

Multiple disk gaps and rings generated by a single Super-Earth
We investigate the observational signatures of super-Earths (ie, planets with Earth-to-
Neptune mass), which are the most common type of exoplanet discovered to date, in their …

Protoplanetary disk turbulence driven by the streaming instability: nonlinear saturation and particle concentration
A Johansen, A Youdin - The Astrophysical Journal, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
We present simulations of the nonlinear evolution of streaming instabilities in protoplanetary
disks. The two components of the disk, gas treated with grid hydrodynamics and solids …
