Theory of star formation
CF McKee, EC Ostriker - Annu. Rev. Astron. Astrophys., 2007 - annualreviews.org
We review current understanding of star formation, outlining an overall theoretical framework
and the observations that motivate it. A conception of star formation has emerged in which …

Sintering-induced dust ring formation in protoplanetary disks: Application to the HL tau disk
The latest observation of HL Tau by ALMA revealed spectacular concentric dust rings in its
circumstellar disk. We attempt to explain the multiple ring structure as a consequence of …

Forming the cores of giant planets from the radial pebble flux in protoplanetary discs
M Lambrechts, A Johansen - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2014 - aanda.org
The formation of planetary cores must proceed rapidly in order for the giant planets to
accrete their gaseous envelopes before the dissipation of the protoplanetary gas disc (≲ 3 …
